Christian Wood

Status: Free Agent but with strong summer league showing
Contracted Through: Signed with Charlotte Hornets
Current 2016-2017 Salary:
Trade Value: Had he been signed, he would have warranted a solid 2nd round pick.

Strengths: He is an up and coming talent. His desire was evident in the summer league.
Offense: He’s developing a shooting arsenal that compliments a post-oriented center.
Defense: He’s improved in both blocks and rebounds, particularly on offense.

Weaknesses:  He is still young and raw. He will be given opportunities in Charlotte, and will very likely make the best of them.
Offense:  Still young and inconsistent.
Defense:  Still raw.  Needs to improve rebounding on defensive side of boards.

Probability of 2016-2017 Roster: None.  He will be someone to watch with the Charlotte Hornets.

Next: Covington
