Also, a question about this ^^^:
Do you believe the 4 is Wood's best defensive position as a result of watching him play, or is just some defensive on/off metric leading you to believe this? I vehemently disagree that this should be the direction the team goes (if that's what you're suggesting). Obviously, this should be an option, as lineup flexibility is a great thing. I simply don't like it as the main, default lineup approach, that's all.
I said the same thing at the beginning of last season about Porzingis and Powell (who, like you, I've spent a lot of time defending around here). Turned out that the team ended up agreeing with me about that, once it became clear that two bigs weren't working. I think two bigs CAN work, but it's tough, and I think the benefits of MAKING it work aren't nearly what they were 10 years ago. Just my opinion, but I think most people who watch what's going on in the league today would agree.
