The biggest issues were clearly rebounding, shot-blocking, and guys playing too many minutes. Wood should help 1 and 3, remains to be seen on 2.16/2 = 8 right? So they were below dead center of the whole. How else would you like me to describe it if that is not middle of the pack? I THINK/HOPE Wood will probably help with the defense, the rebounding will for sure be a plus. Enough to break us into the top 5ish? I very seriously doubt it. I think we’re a pretty large distance away on that front.
