Here is something I found on the article that has been bugging me about Wood. Sidenote, McGee in his limited playing time was also doing this. As much as I dislike Luka doing it, he is Luka. You can't have others not busting their butts back down the court:
For all his brilliance, Doncic is a big part of the reason why the Mavericks regressed from the third-best team in transition defense last year to the third-worst this season, and pairing him with another poor transition defender in Wood only makes matters worse. This team can’t survive without Doncic off the floor, so when push comes to shove, Wood’s minutes take a hit.
Interesting, I haven't really been paying attention to Wood in transition but I'm going to start, normally feels like he fails miserably at properly X'ing out on rotations but I'm sure there's more. Definitely have felt Luka's "transition defense" to be a huge problem though, worse than usual.
