The Nico quote was before the trade, right? Despite his defensive shortcomings, Wood blocked shots last year at the exact same rate as Maxi (our team leader in that stat post-KP, and a guy most fans would say is a pretty darned good shot blocker). So I'm not convinced that Nico doesn't see Wood as addressing that need.
