The value of Christian Wood‘s services to the Detroit Pistons this season cannot be overstated. Coming into the year Detroit desperately needed a center to backup Andre Drummond, and were fortunate enough to sign Wood to a non-guaranteed contract. (which has recently been fully guaranteed for the remainder of the season)
While admittedly he has his occasional lapses on both ends of the floor which either results in turnovers or uncontested baskets for the opposition, the positive impact that he provides often outweighs the negative.
Coming into the year Wood had struggled to find a home, and had played for five different NBA teams in just four seasons.
