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

[vfromlmf]

Looking at the last couple of seasons per 36, Wood is roughly 22 and 11 on TS over 60%.  Portis is 19 and 12 on TS in the upper 50s.  Wood also averages a block and assist (and turnover) more than Portis and he is a better creator.  Its a good comp, but Wood is clearly the better player.

There are other factors to consider as well. Remember Carlisle used to say Powell brings a "level of physicality" and "disposition" that this team needs? Portis brings some of that to the Bucks. He's not a great defender but he's a little nasty and seems like a tireless worker.

Wood seems more of a fun-loving guy; a free spirit with star talent, but a laugh-and-giggle on the bench work ethic. 

Keep in mind this team is 7-15 and the worst defensive team in the league when Wood plays 28+ minutes.
