Crazy it was ever even a discussion.
Took 40 games but Ham finally realized Wood needs to get all the backup 5 minutes, Vando should only play with Wood on the floor and Reddish should get more minutes than Vando. |

CWood’s defense isn’t necessarily good, but it’s not so bad that it makes him unplayable, like TB’s was

It’s a shame Vando has regressed to even worse than he already was, offensively
He’s a 12-18mpg situational player, currently

You are right, TB was really bad defensively. He wasn't even there to challenge people so his size was useless defensively. Wood is playable as a center, and actually made a few plays defensively tonight challenging or going after big rebounds.
I see he works well with a number of lineups so there is potential to get him consistent minutes. |

Thank you both for getting more more excited for CWood  |

His lineup data & +/- were always too good to justify DNP-CDs on a bad team. |

Probably one of things that have drove me the most insane. The guy is so talented on offense and we had him glued to the bench or playing 12 minutes a game. On a team that struggles to score.

Exactly, I mean what's up with that. Fortunately Ham may have seen the light after almost half a season.
Wood just needs to put in more effort defensively. But there's no doubt that we need his offensive punch and rebounding. |

Cause no way wood should play C. At pf spot he is a good hel defender and can provide spacing. |

As C he's a bad defender, at pf spot with AD he is a decent defender. I dont know why ham still using him as C. Just use Hayes for spot minutes. |

Lebron is the starting PF, my guess is that he remains in the starting lineup.

{deleted} lebron started as pg when they are using Vando and Reddiah as starters. Lebron can play multiple positions the last time i check. {personal attack deleted by alpha} |

So you really want Lebron guarding PGs? Neither him or Wood can guard decent SFs. As long as he’s healthy Lebron will guard mostly PFs.

It gets tiring reading personal insults over and over again (especially against VLF) and you're usually a quality poster.
He brought up a legit point, how does a lineup with AD + Wood + Lebron bring enough perimeter defense? The opposing team will likely have at least 3 quality wings who are fast and can shoot from the outside. e.g Sac will have Barnes/Fox/Monk, Celtics will have White/Tatum/Brown/Holiday, Denver will have Murray/KCP/Porter and on and on ... |

Yeah, between him, Reddish and Wood, he's the one I'd lose in a heartbeat, unfortunately, it's Reddish and Wood who don't have longterm deals and will likely be elsewhere next season. |

Wood played some good ball vs OKC. He was solid on both ends of the court.
Stats: C-Wood scored 11 Pts, 7 RBs, 3 Blks, 1 Ast. in a little under 14 minutes. |

Love the 3 blocks and the chemistry he's building with both AD and Vando and Rui. Good to see both DLO and LeBron finding him more often now.

Lebron is a better defender and rebounder than Prince on the perimeter and interior. |

What will he have to do to get real minutes?
Minutes should be around 24 IMO.

| Playing with a lot of effort and intensity lately. He also doesn't seem to pout/slouch after misses, blocked shots etc. anymore. I hope he keeps it up. |
