Wood has been at his best when he is allowed to stay close to the rim. Has been really bad when teams asked him to step out on the perimeter. I guess bad team defense is a similarity but I don´t think you can hide Wood on one of the opposing wings/forwards. Not to mention that this should be Luka´s role on defense. If you have Luka and a center on the floor the other guys need be able to move their feet on defense.
But as others stated. I don´t think it is even worth the discussion. Wood is gone.
Meh. I think that's Kidd's hate spewing becoming fan's opinions more than anything.
Wood's # of contested # of 3's (1.9), 3ptA (3.5),and his 3ptDfg% (35.6) are both above average for a Forward. It's much better than MPJ's 1.4, 3.1, and 37.2 in fewer minutes. I'm not saying he's Draymond Green, but he should be used on the perimeter more like MPJ.
