THE CRUCIFIX: Cato: Wood isn't thrilled w/ his role...Will depart in the summer

[vfromlmf]

I reserve the right to change my mind but for me, the shine is wearing off Christian Wood. 

I don't like his slow feet (unless he's making an offensive move) and I don't like his lack of defensive awareness and I don't care if he dominates offensively on 10 of 13 shooting, scoring 25 points with 8 boards, if the Mavs are going lose his minutes by nine points and get crushed on the glass against one of the worst teams in the league.

For the season Wood's Real Plus Minus is -0.22 which is if 35th among centers, worse than Drummond and only a hair better than Mo Bamba.

Wood's RAPTOR is -0.7 which is sixth best on the team

Wood's EPM is -0.7 - also sixth best

Meanwhile his BPM is 56th in the league (indicating a guy who fills the stat sheet but doesn't contribute to winning?)
