Because the style of play and body are quite similar to Anthony Davis, Wood also has the title of "small thick eyebrows", but unlike thick eyebrows, he is a red champion, and Wood is only a draft pick, and once came to the CBA to ask for life, but fortunately, Wood did not give up on himself, through his own efforts, he was able to return to the NBA, and once established himself in the Rockets.
The Pistons played a price, and Wood was awarded a big contract with the Rockets to reach the peak of his career in Houston
In the 19-20 season, Wood, who played 13.1 points and 6.3 rebounds in the Pistons, won the favor of the Rockets in the summer of 20 and accepted a three-year, 41 million contract offered to him by the team, although the contract amount is not large, but for a homeless player like Wood, who was once eliminated by the league, it is indeed not easy to get a contract with an annual salary of 10 million. In his two seasons with the Rockets, Wood scored a career-best 21 points in his first year and averaged his first career double-double (17.9 points, 10.1 rebounds) last season.
Sent to the Mavericks by the Rockets this summer, Wood's efficient offense far exceeded the thick eyebrows
However, for a rebuilding team like the Rockets, a "data brush" like Wood does not have much effect on them, so in this offseason, Wood was also sent to the Lone Ranger by the Rockets, and after coming to the Lone Ranger, Wood did not get the starting position as he did in the Rockets before, and he has been playing as a substitute since the preseason, and in the official regular season, he is still the sixth man role of the team. But after these three games, Wood became the team's "inside thigh", averaging 24.3 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in only 26.3 minutes of playing time, shooting 62.2% from the field and 61.5% from three-point range.
On the other hand, Anthony Davis, who has entered the ranks of the 75 stars, in the opening 3 games, is not as good as Wood's "small thick eyebrows", playing 3 games for the Lakers, thick eyebrows in 34.6 minutes of playing time, averaging only 24.7 points and 8 rebounds per game, shooting percentage and three-point shooting rate of only 50.9% and 20%, and his Purple and Gold Army has suffered a wave of three consecutive defeats and has not tasted the first victory of the new season.
Wood actually shook off the "little thick eyebrows" label, and he wanted to be his true self in Dallas
Although the past two seasons have been labeled as a data brush in the Rockets, Wood can still maintain such an efficient offense after coming to the Mavericks, a strong team that just entered the Western Conference finals last season, which is indeed impressive, and I believe that this season Wood should use practical actions to shake off the label of "small thick eyebrows" and be a true self.
