GAME 6: ORL (1-6) @ DAL (3-3) | 114-105 win

BUT, that's fine! Wood CAN play center. By himself. It's a jumping off point, and nowhere near the terrible situation we were promised it would be. 

They should be trying to do it more, not less. I think @"mvossman"'s goal of 8 minutes per night is a good one, for starters.


Yes to all of that.  I’m not anti Wood at C in those transition minutes against bench units.  I don’t think Kidd is either.  I’ve been the one pointing out exactly how Kidd is giving Wood those minutes in several of the games so far.

When I speak of transitioning to something more than that I’m talking about Wood starting or Wood getting ‘starter’ minutes.  Just opinion, but I do not think we will ever see a Wood/DFS starting C/PF lineup on a consistent basis.  If you take that as a given, then the ways Wood starts for this team and how you design rotations around that begin to narrow considerably especially given the limitations McGee and Powell have.
