on the court Wood acts as a link from within. Luka Doncic will have one more supporter in the squad in which he leads all attacks and determines every movement.
Wood has a double-double averaging 17.9 + 10.2 points per game and is shooting a respectable 40 percent from three-point range.
That is, he can be both a reference from within and a threat from without, all in addition to his immense physical abilities.
