But, is that really the question. There are two versions of Wood thus far. Solo-big Wood and Wood with Maxi. Wood with Maxi seems to work. D-Rating is 102 in 110 minutes. I don’t have a good way to isolate the other Wood minutes, but that is really the question that needs to be answered. My eye-test says they aren’t good. Kidd’s actions and comments seem to indicate we won’t be seeing much of it no matter what, but if Wood solo-big is ever to evolve into something workable we need to see it in the brief glimpses those lineups are getting.
