That's somewhat true perhaps (not that I think that's Luka's nature at all), but ONLY if the minutes are being allotted arbitrarily without any connection to what Wood is doing (and what they want him to do).
But if the minutes are connected to Wood's behavior, on or off the court, then it should be reworded as:
Wood is the only one that can fix the Wood starting/minutes conundrum.
I would also caution that the periodic praise we hear about Wood from Luka (and Kidd too) might to some degree be their attempts to motivate him to do better (as in, 'we know you can do this' or 'we see better things possible') when he's holding himself back by continual screwups and failure to perform. They want him to do well.
