I’m simply trying to figure out what they’re thinking. And not for nothing, but Powell actually IS a pretty damn effective defender, in my view. But the conversation shouldn’t be Wood versus Powell. What’s important is whatever kidd is not seeing for a wood that’s preventing him from leaning on him.
With the offense as limited and boring as it has been this season, I tend to arrive at your conclusion - that it shouldn’t be such a hangup.
I am enjoying “mid range Bullock” tonight.
I’m not really meaning to argue with you. Just that you highlighted Kidd wanting a defense first culture and Powell is starting. We can say what we want about our boys in blue but Powell surely isn’t considered a good defender by anyone outside of a few Mavs fans, right? In any event - it’s no reason for Wood not to start. There’s literally no reason IMO that he shouldn’t start and/or get 30+ minutes.
