Christian Wood is likely going to be the one true x-factor on this Dallas Mavericks squad. Say what you will about the return of Tim Hardaway Jr. or improvements from Josh Green, but it’s Wood who will raise the ceiling for Dallas. And smart people around the media see that fact too. That includes ESPN’s Zach Lowe.
Zach Lowe believes that “[Christian Wood] can average 20 points, win Sixth Man of the Year, and close a lot of games.” The question of whether or not to start Wood has been one of the most popular conversations regarding the Dallas Mavericks this offseason.
