I'm not sure what he was promised, but "substantial role" does not sound like starter. 15 minutes sounds a lot like "substantial role" to me.
It's only one game. But if that's an indication of his role, 15 mpg usually means at the borderline of rotation, the 8th or 9th guy. I guess I'd call it borderline substantial.
This is about as substantial as it gets for a guy who has talent but who’s ego and attitude has made him unattractive to all but the most desperate…enter the Lakers who need production at all costs and have the GOAT in the locker room keeping him in check
That's how guarantees work (assuming he was offered one). If it was sure thing that Wood was a definite rotation player (6th or 7th man), he wouldn't need a guarantee for a substantial role.
People who bump this thread to get one over on the remaining Christian Wood fans have spent the last year oblivious to the fact that... ...there are no Christian Wood fans.
