I'm not a fan of the Wood/McGee pairing, but I do like the Wood/Maxi pairing which I would consider Maxi the 5 in that case. In fact, I like any combination of Wood/Maxi/Harris. McGee makes sense from the standpoint of Powell outgoing, but I see him as more situational, especially in the playoffs.
Yeah, McGee soaks up some minutes in the regular season, takes on bigger centers for a few minutes a game. Plays PnR with Luka for a bit of a stretch each half. Maxi hasn't proven he can play big minutes and stay healthy. 96 minutes between the four of them (where McGee gets his usual 16, Maxi gets 20-22 and Wood and Harris get 28-30) makes sense to me.
