Take those 33mins and make him 6th man. Those numbers will go up vs reserves. Wood would win 6th man on this team, if given the position and the minutes. His offensive versatility is absolutely perfect to bring him for the starting C, PF, or SF.
Well for one the coach and Wood do not work.
The more playing time Wood got, the less of an impact he had on winning (and yes I know he played well in his brief stint as a starter).
Nico made a lot of comments in his post game presser about looking for defense and rebounding. Looking for players who have a high basketball IQ etc.
Wood had a prime opportunity to show people he's more than just a me-first scorer. He wasted it here.
