Where did I say Woody was gonna be as athletic as Withey? I'm pretty sure I specifically pointed out he won't block shots like him. As you correctly pointed out, I never said that about Gabe. I will own nothing that I didn't say. I say enough stupid **** that I have to own, I don't need to own other peoples stupid as well.

So Woodbury isn't athletic like Withey, won't play defense like him, has a wingspan six inches shorter, and Withey played behind 4 NBA players but they're similar how? Oh yea, they're the same height...makes sense

I'm too lazy to look back, but that was in response to you saying there was NO COMPARING the two. You said wing span isn't the same, and the players surround the two players weren't the same, so you CAN NOT COMPARE the two.

It is like since CyTwins has decreed it so, that all conversation must stop and everyone bow down to CyTwins opinions.......

OR I just don't see how you compare two players when the only thing they have in common is their height.

If we're going to compare players lets at least compare players that really are similar. So much Ogelsby in Stauskas' game tonight...and both are 6'5"!!!

So lets break down your objections to the comparisons for Woody that we've heard: because they were different * rankings coming out of HS, they didn't have the same wing span, they didn't have the same teammates. I mean what's next? They don't share the same DNA, so you can't compare their games? DERP.

I've explained multiple reasons why it's not a good comparison. You are saying since they were both 4* 7 footers out of high school so you CAN compare them. Just saying it's a terrible comparison.

Ogelsby and Stauskas were both top 125 SG's out of high school and both are 6'5". Will you try to compare them next?

IDK, you tell me who I can and can't compare. You are the one who gets his panties in a bunch if some comparison is made that isn't cleared by you first....

I think you knew saying you could compare two players that don't play similar at all you were going to get some backlash.

It's all good deanvogs

Ogelsby and Stauskas are exactly alike except I'm pretty sure Stauskas wouldn't rehab in a casino.

For some reason Cytwins thinks that to compare two people they have to be the exact same in every aspect possible otherwise you can't compare them which would pretty much make any comparison impossible.

There are a lot of 7 footers out there, it's just a bad comparison IMO. If you think they play similar and want to compare them than we'll agree to disagree.

Comparison police, you are summoned to another thread:

Kane being compared to White and Anderson??? JFC, can you tell them that they have different wingspans, they played with different players? In another thread Hogue is compared to Travis Releford.....You got lots of work to do to set these people straight.

Well Kane and Hogue are good...Woodbury isn't. Easier to compare good players to other good players

I think they are doing just fine so far. If any bad players get brought up I'll speak up though

Thanks Acgclone. CyTwins really dropped the ball on this, thanks for stepping up with some common sense.

Alright, these comparisons are getting out of hand. I'm guilty of it too so I'm not throwing stones, but we compare every single player on the team to about 10 different past Cyclones, plus past Hawkeyes, and NBA legends.

Each player is his own player. I'm not really seeing the Royce/Kane comparison except that they both present matchup problems, which is something Hoiberg obviously covets.
