I saw a Ton of Rockets games last year, Wood is the real deal.
For a very short amount of time during the Harden and Wall era, he looked absolutely legit, maybe even max player legit.
It seemed any given night he could get you 20-30 points, 10 rebounds and 2-3 blocks.
On Miami I don't think he is going to get the green light to take 15-20 shots per game, but that run of nearly 40% from 3 was legit. He can space the floor; and he is a treat if you let him get established inside. The only real downside to him, he was not one to pass back out and set up the other shooters.
On Miami he is going to have to get use to passing from the inside back out when guys get open.
He’s definetely worth the risk for the proposed package we would be offering of Duncan, Yurt, KZ, and a top 15 protected 1st in 2024 or 25.
Had to go pull the stats, he was taking nearly 6 3s a game, now he is back down to 5 a game. He takes those 3s from all over the court, he is not going to sit in the corner waiting for a corner 3. His total attempts this year are a more manageable 13 a game. On the plus side, he has that attack 20 times a game mentality, he will go take 20+ shots if given the green light. He is like an anti Bam, he is not passive.
I hate to loose Yurt, for anyone. But if we had to loose him, I really am a Wood fan.
