He's clearly a gifted offensive player as well as evidenced by us running the offense through him for a long stretch. I fully expect at least 18/10 out of him this year depending on minutes. The key for Wood as always is can he at least not be a complete liability defensively.
I watched the game...but did not focus on this at all. And I admit this is a big question mark in an acquisition we are expecting big things from. We knew he has offensive talent and stats show that he is willing to rebound(garbage time on a garbage team?)...but I should have focused on defense with Wood?
How did he do tonight?
Personally...I saw a few plays where he seemed to not be fighting hard under the basket for rebounds...but its preseason. I literally paid no attention to his defensive presence.
