Me-first scorer? Name a single winner of 6th man of the year award who wasn't.
BBIQ? Again, I'm not saying the starting offensive should be run through him. I'm saying he should get 30-35 mins off the bench.
Rebounding? Wood was 2nd on the team only to McGee in rebounding per min. Wood is number one on the team in rebound % and rate.
Kidd? You tell your HC that he has to scheme around Wood's defensive problems when he comes off the bench. If that means subbing him with a defensive stud, so be it. With your top 3 talented players all having defensive shortcomings, your HC has to earn his pay and... coach.
Kinda ignores that Wood wasn´t happy as a 6th man. Is unlikely to stay in the first place. Even less likely to stay if he isn´t starting.
