I never said "The Mavs are 4-3 because it is Wood's fault"
I said he's filling up the stat sheet and the stats paint him as a positive presence. But I am dubious on how positive that presence is, and if it's sustainable. Further, if Wood was such a positive presence, I'd expect the Mavs to have been winning his minutes more. The eye test till is showing me that Wood is a talented but flawed player.
Because the sample size is so small, I resigned to wait another month before I made my choice. That was the real meaning of my post. Not "Wood is bad because the Mavs are 4-3"
