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

[DanSchwartzgan]

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

I think this is a good way to put it...the shine is wearing off.  He's not trash, but he's not special either.  He teases enough ability that you want to invest in him hoping he's the guy you think you see in those moments.  He's not a center and it takes a very specific kind of center to allow Wood to start at PF and get the most out of him.  I'm not sure who else Wood would start for across the league (Charlotte?  Does Indy take him over Jalen Smith? Miami? NY?).  The fact it is discussed so much here is more of indictment against Dallas than an endorsement of Wood.
