    He is not a good pick and roll passer and that goes back to his Wizards days.

    That would be a viable option if Boogie actually had any lateral quickness and lift left. Dude was a terrible defend even before the injuries.

    Someone like Brook Lopez or Gasol would've been a Godsend for us.

    Once Cousins gets to where he can play more than 20 minutes per game (he averaged 26 for Golden State in 2018-2019), I’m sure Silas will try it for a few minutes here and there against bigger centers like Jokic and Embiid. It won’t be a regular lineup, though. Too many teams play small and space the floor too well to do that.

    Also Wood's passing needs some work, especially when he is in the post and the double team comes.

    You can teach boxing out. Harden can teach him to put on weight. I think any team in the league would take what he is now even given his flaws. He isn’t a very good interior defender at the moment but he’s got a lot on his mind out there right now I think he’ll get better.

    Wood at 4 and Cousins at 5 isn't a playable lineup except in short spurts.

    4s in the Current NBA are really wings. Wood cant defend NBA quality wings. Cousins cant defend anyone.

    all you have to do is throw it to the rim or get a layup or pass to the corner. You dont have to be a wizard to run the pnr (That's a pun! ha!)

    He is a good playmaker but in the open court or when he attacks the paint and dishes out to the corner three point shooters.Drive and dish. He is great at that

    Agree. That led to a LOT of turnovers or throw aways. Drove me nuts.

    Sadly defense is not one of them, Clint was a much better rim protector than Wood and that's a scary thought.

    Wood definitely needs a bigger 3 and 4 next to him. Not another one of our undersized guards and pj tucker

    Oh definitely. Woods is a GREAT player despite his flaws. He is part of the reason why our defense is bad but for sure not THE reason. He'll get bigger and better.
