You may be surprised. Wooten is the kind of guy who could get a few minutes and make some spectacular plays that makes the coaching staff think about giving him more time.

I saw him during a two minute stretch in SL essentially own the floor on both ends with rejections and wild putbacks. He's just the kind of guy who might take even the smallest crack of opportunity and wiggle right on through it.


He’s like a smaller Mitch. Hopefully he pans out and is a valuable call up when Perry starts trading vets.


He might be. He sure looked like it.

I thought similarly that he could be ideal to back-up Mitch.

If he's consistent and rounds out his game, having both of them in the rotation would subject other teams to 48 minutes of pure terror.

Think of him as Kornet on steroids. He blocked more shots in some SL games than Mitch did. Guy has talent - we should see if he fits the team.
