It’s safe to say Christian Wood’s first season with the Rockets was the best one of his six-year career.
The big man averaged a career-high 21 points per game to go with 9.6 rebounds per game, also a career-high. It’s definitely safe to say he played better than the value of his contract, a three-year deal worth $41 million.
Even though Wood showcased the best basketball of his career, it’s also fair to say that he didn’t perform his best because injuries plagued him throughout the year.
Wood missed 31 games this season due to injury, a majority of those games from a sprained ankle he suffered in early February.
