Wood is far more than a "nice" player. He's a 20/10 center with a TS% near .6 who shoots .4 from three. You're putting words in my mouth. Here's what I would do. First, I would see if Wood and Sengun can work together. This may take some time to figure out. If it 100% doesn't work, then I could be convinced that we should trade Wood, but my preference would be that any such trade include a valuable forward prospect. Hell. I'm not convinced that Wood can't be a centerpiece in a trade for a star. He's that good. To me, I think it's far more likely that a team will trade a star for a guy like Wood and something like a FRP than a bunch of future draft picks. In short, I really don't get why people are underrating Wood's value. Players like Wood are rare and valuable.
Through 27 games, try 16/9 with a TS% near .53 who shoots .34 from three. Sub-100 WS/48 on top of that.
Teams won’t be so shortsighted. They’ll see his stats last year and how much better he’s played as the 5.
He needs to be more decisive in the post, too many "shakes" for 2 points. But his passing his excellent for a big man. Needs to get a baby hook down and get stronger in the ofseason.
Not sure if that's true - I'm going to check the official per 36 minutes over 24 games in under 20 mpg record book, which is located in the bathroom of the Molly Pitcher Service Area on the New Jersey Turnpike.
Dream's go-to move was the jump hook. As a defender, you worked to keep him out of the middle of the lane which then set up the many Dream Shake counters--baseline J, spin, drop step, fade-away, etc. If you shaded to stop the baseline J, the jump hook was easy pickings. Sengun needs to spend the rest of this season and all of the next off-season developing a go-to post move and counters to go with it. Right now it seems like he has some of the counters without the foundational go-to move. That's really good--especially for 19. But greatness awaits. (He also needs to work on his handles.) Remember, at 19 Dream was far from where he was at 21 much less 28. It's going to fun to watch Sengun over the next 2-3 years. I have a feeling he will advance quickly and even beyond our realistic scenarios.
They will think that pandemic season stats with old officiating are not very relevant. Everybody's stats were better last year. He showed that he can score points if he takes a lot of shots on a bad team with no pressure. He might be more, but I don't see it. In particular, I don't think his skill set will translate to playoff game, just like I would not prefer to finish close games with him. Somebody might want to take a risk on him or don't mind overpaying him. So my hope is that they won't be shortsighted .
He only took 15 shots a game last season and is averaging closer to 13 per game this year. Guys like KAT, Embiid, and Joker take close to 18 shots a game.
Last year his production was good in terms of points scored, but that's simply the only thing he has. And even that is not very impressive. (I don't care for the boards) 1) Cannot set picks at all. 2) Very low ft % 3) below average iq, walks into double teams and still tries to do what he had in mind. Thinks bringing the ball full court is something good. 4) very soft on defense 5) not much of a passer As I said, he is not bad. I like him in some sense. But I think this is the best atmosphere for him. As competition goes up, he has nothing more to offer and will be less valuable.
Hilarious. "He scores points, but doesn't do anything else well, except for one massively important thing that I, for whatever reason, don't care about."
I want to see more high post PnR between Sengun and Woods. DJ and KJ both already know to get pass back and cut passes from Sengun and actively look for those opportunities. Green is going to LOVE Sengun when he gets back.
