We will see. I don’t think we should grow to comfortable with him because I am not sure he will be happy in that role.
Let me add though, I definitely want to see Wood as a starter and playing 30 minutes a night. This team needs to know that answer on him.
I have probably been a little lower on Wood than most here. I think he has an incredible ability to score points in bunches. That is a rare skill. What gives me pause is everything outside of those scoring bunches. My doubt is if he is a winning player franchises/teammates can count on. I have not come to a conclusion on that yet. To get there, I would like to see him starting(probably with Maxi) and getting a lot of minutes.
I would really like to see a Wood/Maxi starting lineup. In my vision, we would upgrade Bullock in this scenario. Bullock is good when he is hitting his shots. I don't like him starting with DFS & Dwight though. Would like to have someone in that spot who can create.
Luka
DFS
X
Wood
Maxi
If we find that right X, maybe that could be a start of something. Not sold on Wood yet though or Maxi as a high level playoff starter. It would provide some answers if we are on the right track though.
