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

[WildArkieBoy]

Not sure what people expect.

He has been a lot better since they inserted him into the starting lineup. Made 5+ 3s in 8/20 games. Averages 16/4. Shooting 39.7% from 3. 57.6% TS.
Leading the team in on/off for the season at +11.3. Offense is 9.2pts better. Defense is 2.1 better with him on the floor.
Basically the player that he used to be with slightly improved defense.

Not to even mention that despite all his flaws he has been one of the few players that have shown consistent effort. He ranks 6th in the league in drawn charges. Mavs as a team combine for 21. 10 of them coming from THJ.

McGee, JKidd's boy, had to be given every opportunity to fail before CWood could get regular minutes, starting, no less.  That's the human dynamic, ego, at work.
