Plenty of Los Angeles Lakers fans are hopeful and even excited about the team’s free-agent signing of Christian Wood on Tuesday.
Wood, who is listed at 6 feet, 9 inches and 214 pounds, can play both power forward and center and is an instant offense man who gets buckets in bunches. The Lakers, who were already looking very potent on the offensive end, could be bursting at the seams in that department.
The concerns with Wood are his (very) bad defense and his reportedly outsized opinion of his own offensive abilities. But if he is on his best behavior and is at least a neutral defensive player, he could help make Los Angeles a truly elite offensive team.
These areas, in particular, should see a boost thanks to Wood.
