Absolutely. Scoring is absolutely a counting stat. Combining scoring averages don’t guarantee increased team scoring. Combining synergetic offensive skills will, which is why we’re all excited about Wood.
Personally, I was more excited about him (on offense AND defense) when I though he’d be a full time center. Said the same thing about Porzingis, and feel I was right about that. To the extent that he could fit here at all, it was better at the 5, imho, and that seems to be what WAS has him playing, too. If he’d have just accepted a role as a pnr screener here (without a clogged paint) we wouldn’t be going through all of this, imo.
