There's merit to this approach, however. I like it more than leaning on defensive players to create offense.
It's apparent that Kidd's approach is defense leads to offense. With a guy like Wood, not much to teach on the offensive side but maybe getting better at setting picks and becoming a more reliable role guy.
Are we not going to give credit where it's due where Wood has REALLY turned a corner? He's become a reliable defender and much more engaged than earlier in the season. We can go on and on about the starting lineup and how he should have been there from the set. But he's earned it and I believe there's way more behind the scenes work than most fans give credit to.
Professional basketball at its best lately with this squad. Did it take injuries and forced time? Sure, but it took a hell of a lot more to make it all click.
