[Winter]

I just don't like it, that's all. I would MUCH rather they focus on establishing the Luka/Wood pick and roll right away, to start games, personally. 

In the approach you describe, combined with an offense built around Luka Doncic, Luka/McGee pnr with Wood standing above the break or in the corner (just like Porzingis did under Carlisle) is pretty much the only option. Can't run pnr with Wood because McGee's guy will be in the paint regardless of where McGee is on the floor. I suppose some pick and pop with Wood, McGee in the dunker's spot, giving Luka three options rather than two is something that could happen, but it's actually a little easier to defend, imo, because the spacing won't be quite as awe-inspiring. 

You have a point, so I have nothing much to argue with. 

I suspect they can work out the best positional lineup early in the season, hopefully without hiccups.
