Getting a big with Woods skills is going to be difficult. There is Jokic, Embiid, Sabonis, those have true skills around the rim, there are only a few more with natural all-around game around the rim. Yes, these examples are all better than Wood. But Woods skills are so much better than any other big we had since Luka joined Mavs and except Nowitzki. It gives a completely new dimension to the team, and it's obvious to see how much Luka enjoys a big that actually has the fluent natural feeling for the game. What we now are lacking are some more complex plays involving Wood and Luka. Those were never treath with KP as he just couldnt drive to the basket without fumbling. So far we have only seen simple postups or pick and roll involving Luka and Wood. But the skills of Luka and Wood allow for some really complex plays and I really hope we will see that going forward. We see that with Jokic and Murray for instance, and I would love to see Wood with the ball where then Luka can get it from the screen to attack the rim, or Wood driving or passing to shooters if defense collapses on Luka.
IMO, there is another dimension that Wood can reach with this team and Luka, that havent seen at all. But with KP, it was obvious there were no possible further dimensions and expansion of plays to reach, as the true limitation were the lack of certain skills. With Wood, we haven't reached the top at all, and there is so much more that can be achieved.
