Their biggest difference is defense. But AD should be able to mask Wood weakness there.
Wood might not be totally a bad defender if he is not the primary internal presence.
He was completely under utilized or misused last year by Ham.
Honestly Wood should be a very good fit next to AD

CWood isn’t the rim protector Porzingis is and Porzingis isn’t Porzingis without the rim protection.
But yeah Wood is really good and criminally underused last year.

This is so delusional. *Sigh*.

Wood is nowhere near on offense either. He can’t score quicker than Kristaps and maybe the percentage difference is cause Wood has shot significantly less. Wood’s shot is clunkier and the size Porzingis has is a huge advantage.
Then you add defense.
There’s a reason one is an all-star and championship starter and the other has been someone each team they came from has been happier to see him gone.

Lmao. Porzingis is so much better than Wood. This is stupid.

Wood is a good weapon to have. He’s not some be all end all, but a definite good player to have off the bench. What didn’t help was that the Lakers had a coach that had zero idea how to implement him.

Woods healthy, and another year together should pay dividends.
I am more interested about how JJ plans to use the role players than individuals at this point. Ham didn’t put them in a position to succeed, and was a mistake hire. Hopefully Rob doesn’t strike out again with JJ.

Wood is a 3/4 masquerading as a center and for our team with a non athletic backcourt, it’s a disaster waiting to happen. He should be utilized more with Vando and Hayes instead of relying him to patrol the paint. He can be decent in guarding wings because of his length but he’s not a bruiser nor a defensive anchor. We have so many one way players and Ham was a terrible coach who keep experimenting instead of simply utilized Vando with Dlo and AR and use Rui as a Lebron and go from there depending on matchups. Role players tend to thrive on a role that suited them best. And Wood as a 5 is just not it.
