I’m actually kind of loving Wood’s hunger right now. He’s playing great, especially alongside AD. They are a good fit together. I’d honestly think seriously about starting him.
Good outing. There was one 1 on 4 decision he made that made me frustrated, but good really outweighed the bad. Should've played more but his name isn't Gabe Vincent so that's unfortunate for him.
He's growing on me. He looks good out there with AD but if he's our main big... no interior defense. Especially if he's out there with Lebron too.
Just can't buy a 3 otherwise he's bring a lot every else. Really nice wrap around pass to Dlo for the go ahead bucket. He's work on the glass really fixes a big issue with the starters who seem to get outworked on the glass every single play. It allows AD to roam
I will give it to him - so far so good. I have my doubts but he seems to be buying in and is making the most of his minutes.
Yup I gotta say - he's jsut that good. If Ham wanted to start him and bring Prince off the bench as backup 2 I wouldn't be mad at that. Then again, when Vando is back, hopefully that solves the rebounding issue for us. But man - very glad we have Wood on the roster. He changes a lot for us if he's buying in on the defensive end. The shots will come and he'll start drilling those 3's too
Some big rebounds. Only player on either team with more rebounds tonight was AD. Continues to impress. The 3 ball was rough but willing to overlook it with everything else he chipped in with.
I think he's had a big week to open the season. I'm very surprised with him. Not really with his offense, but how effective he's been on defense. He was the difference in guarding KD in the 4th qtr against the Suns, and tonight he was a rim protector against a very aggressive, athletic Magic team. I knew he could score the ball. But his plays on defense have been huge in this short season. Ham trusts him enough to close games with a twin towers line up, I think this is a big development for the team.
Really liking the pairing with AD. And really surprised with the energy Wood is playing with, the team needs it with Vando out and Reaves on low power mode.
