Once again, the LA Lakers GM Rob Pelinka surprised everyone in the NBA with another signing winner, this time by getting the big man Christian Wood, as the team was running thin in the center position.
Christian Wood is a center that will help Anthony Davis to be back more time as the team's four, which will help the star stay more time healthy and comfortable in his natural position.
But there's a stat that shows why Pelinka did an amazing job by landing Wood in LA. With information by Copper Halpern of Silver Screen and Roll: "(Wood) was one of just six players last season to score at least 16 points per game, snag 7 rebounds, and shoot over 37% from beyond the arc, and the only one who will earn under $18 million this upcoming season.
(Christian) Wood is the cherry atop a Western Conference Finals sundae, not the player the Lakers are banking on building around on either end of the floor. If the cherry turns out to be sour, the sundae will taste just fine without it."
The reason why Wood signed for the vet min is because of the bad rep he gets in the NBA. Christian has played in seven different teams, but the Lakers believe they can make him work. The good news is that Anthony Davis and Darvin Ham already have experience working with him.
