Wood was one of 29 players who set more than 1,500 ball screens last season and he rolled to the rim 57% of the time. * Looking at just road games for restricted-area shots helps address the issue of shot-charting inconsistency from arena to arena. In fact, he’s shot 289-for-387 (74.7%) in the restricted area *on the road over the last three seasons, the 11th best mark among 162 players with at least 300 road restricted-area attempts over that stretch. He’s a capable jump-shooter and not the most physical of bigs, but Wood can handle himself inside. In fact, only three players – Kristaps Porzingis (20.2, 75.0%), Desmond Bane (18.2, 70.3%) and Bojan Bogdanovic (18.1, 71.8%) – averaged more points per game and were assisted on a higher percentage of their buckets. The percentage of his field goals that were assisted last season (67.7%) was the lowest of his last four seasons, but was still high for a guy who averaged 17.9 points per game. Here are some notes, numbers and film from Wood’s days in Detroit and Houston, along with how he might help the Mavs… But this is also the first time that Wood will be under the microscope that comes with playing for a contender. His move to Dallas is an opportunity to finally win some games and partner with one of the best pick-and-roll ball-handlers in the league. Now, Wood has joined a team that reached the Western Conference finals a few months ago. The leader among active players is Buddy Hield at 468 games without a playoff appearance.
* He’d be 11th if you counted three players – Lonzo Ball, Mitchell Robinson and Mo Bamba – who’ve been on playoff teams, but have yet to play in a playoff game. And only two guys above him – Josh Jackson and David Nwaba – have worse records in games they’ve played in than Wood (69-153. Among players currently on rosters, Wood ranks *eighth for the most regular season games played (222) without reaching the playoffs. Wood was picked up by the New Orleans Pelicans two days later and since then, his teams have finished 13th, 13th, 15th and 15th in their respective conferences. And that team – the 2018-19 Milwaukee Bucks – waived Wood in March after he played just 62 total minutes over its first 70 games. Dallas adds Christian Wood to a deep frontline rotation as it looks to make another deep playoff run.Ĭhristian Wood has only once been employed by a good team.
