We need players who can hit open 3-pointers and play solid defense next to Kyrie and Luka. THJ can do both. Bagley can do neither. If we want a scoring big off the bench, Christian Wood would be a much better option as he is a good 3-point shooter. Also, if Jason Kidd didn’t like Christian Wood, he will like Marvin Bagley even less.
Agreed. I've been saying it since mid last season that Wood is our ideal 6thman at 30mins/game. 3pt efficiency would digress a little, but midrange and paint scoring would increase tremendously, not to mention stretching a defensive big would open stretch the defense much more, creating more mismatches.
