Tougher big matchups are played one way. Easier big matchups are played another. So fully unleashing Wood at solo-center is a bigger leap than we may realize.
And I'm FINE with that.
I just hope this is all en route to the goal of being able to play him at solo-center. I realize that coming off of a WCF appearance with quite possibly the best player in the world on the roster makes for some high expectations regarding the "win vs. teach" balance, trust me. I just hope they've got their eyes on what I consider the "prize" of truly maximizing the opportunity Wood offers this team.
