As to Wood: I have to admit I was wrong about him. He has become very important to this team as a reliable shooter who drains it when he gets his feet set in his spots and at the FT line. His defense has improved a lot and gets more layups and assists than I ever thought possible. He is now an official 6th man.
The Woods debate has become unreadable as it has become a proxy for the ‘stats vs sight’ conflict. Trying to assess Woods’ value to the team using the numbers alone is futile. There are so many intangibles with him both on the court and off. I’m a data guy, both personally and professionally, but one of the best lessons I have learned and taught is knowing where analytics end and common sense begins.
