Kevin O’Conor, an expert at The Mismatch’s National Basketball Association (NBA), is convinced that Christian Wood’s entry into the Dallas Mavericks team will strengthen the Texas team, but at the same time, Mavs still needs to make deals to complete the lineup.

The Mavericks have already reportedly made a deal to win one of Houston’s Rockets leaders in the NBA Finals. In the opposite direction, Dallas sent Boban Marjanovic, Marquis Chris, Three Burks, Sterling Brown and the 26th choice in this year’s draft.

“I think Wood will fit well in Dallas. In an attack, he can give the team the same thing as Porziņģis only at a higher level, ”says O’Konors. He is one of the NBA’s most effective pick and pop long players and dangerous after lobbying. It’s a matter of protection, and every Rockets and Pistons fan has any doubts about that aspect of the game. “

“It simply came to our notice then. Of course, he has had moments when he is having a hard time, but we are talking about a guy who is in his best years and is able to accumulate 20 points and 10 rebounds on average, ”the inspector continued. “Now he will have the opportunity to play with Luke, one of the best game makers in the NBA. Donchic and got out the best of Max Kleber and Dwight Powell, but now he has Christian Wood, who is a much more effective thrower than Porzigis, who is more dangerous in his “lob” passes than Porzigis and a less traumatic player than Porzigis. “

“The only difference is that Wood is a worse player in defense than CP, but because of Luke in the Mavericks, we’ll see the best version of Wood possible,” O’Conor said. “I think the dallas inter-season is not over yet, because they can make a few more deals. “Mavs is continuing negotiations with other clubs about another deal, so we’ll see what they do.”

The 26-year-old power striker Wood has been playing in the NBA since 2015, but the Rockets have been the most successful in the last two seasons. Last season, Woods stood out with an average of 17.9 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists.
