I like Wood's offensive versatility and the P&R is part of that, but I don't really think that is the key element to his offensive game.
I think they key thing here is that Wood isn't just a roll guy. He's a legitimate 3-level scorer, he scored efficiently even on a horrible team as the #1 option with no real PGs. Powell couldn't even dream of doing that. If the other team knows you have multiple ways to kill them, it's much harder to defend the roll threat.
