While not the prototype next to Luka, (due to his poor 3pt shooting), he would be amazing if the other players on the court with them were perimeter threats. I think if Wood is your big, it makes sense. He is a defensive menace (who should have made the all d team) that could put our team into championship contention from a defensive standpoint with his D at the point of attack. If we lose Jalen, I would hope that he would be one of the first calls if he is truly being made available.
You even get a full year of him before you have to extend him. At less money than THJ. He would be pretty amazing here. The other side of the coin is that is why you hold onto those picks and take the lottery tickets that they represent. He was a 29th pick. These guys can be found and developed. I still think Green can be a guy with this kind of defensive impact, but everyone wants to trade him, too.
