This is true. Although experience from last season showed how much easier it is to play when there is more than one player on the floor that is capable to efficiently do more than shoot an open jumper. I am not really convinced Wood can do much more than just finish the pass out of PnR or PnP.
Biggest Mavs problem will be, when one of Luka or SD will be out, which we can expect to happen 10-15 games in a season for each, mostly not at same time. So 20-30 games where there will be a huge need for another facilitator for roughly 15 minutes. I am in the club that doesn't believe any of the players on the team is capable to lead an efficient offense without Luka and SD. This is a role where an experienced PG like Dragic could help, but reportedly didn't want to be limited to such limited role. We will see, how it will work.
