The Mavs' challenge is figuring out HOW to use him in a way where his strengths are going to reliably help the team more than his flaws will hurt them, and in a 5-on-5 game with team dynamics, that's not as simplistic as you keep trying to make it.
Yes. You are correct, obviously.
BUT, to Kamm's point, this team really needs to make him work, imo. If we were talking about a team that's working, a well-oiled machine, I'd be fine with the whole "he's you're chance, take it or leave it" approach. But it's hard not to view Wood and some of the things he can clearly do as lifelines to a team desperate for offensive talent.
