Fit might be a valid argument. Lack of catch and shoot ability next to Luka is a big no no. But on the other hand. Anyone that watches the Mavs can see that they are missing a ballhandler. Nurse is taking advantage of it right now. Pressing full court to force THJ or DFS into the creator role.
Based on my eyes.
I would take Wood over JB as a defender ALL day. JB hustled and got some charges, but he was a hindrance.
Of course, the Mavs could use another ballhandler, but what Wood brings is more important than that IMO. And it is so dumb that Kidd passed on Dragic.
