Christian Wood is putting on a show, he’s currently averaging 21-10 on 59% TS. His potential as a pick and roll big is insane and he’s one of the most underrated offensive bigs in the league today.
Christian Wood is an excellent off ball player, it’s the main part of his offensive game. He’s a spectacular lob threat, he has good size and an insane catch radius plus the ability to finish lobs at a high level. Some of the lobs he is able to finish are just insane, the only players with a better catch radius are AD and Gobert.
Wood is a great rim roller and a good screen setter in addition to his lob catching abilities. He shoots 79.9% at the rim, his insane finishing abilities make him an elite roll man. He’s also explosive at the rim.
Wood is an amazing spacing big from 3, he shoots 37.4% from 3 on 5 attempts a game and 38% on catch and shoot 3’s. He can pop to the 3 point line and catch and shoot which adds even more of ball value to his rim running and lob catching abilities.
Wood gets 2-3 post touches and 3-4 iso touches a game, while this might be a product of the limited options the Rockets have, but it’s notable that he’s not very good in these situations. He’s not a good passer out the post, not a good mid range shooter, and not a good self creator.
Overall Wood is a great off ball player combining his rim running and lob catching with his 3 point shooting and floor spacing abilities. His on ball self creation isn’t good and his passing isn’t good either but he still has potential. Overall he’s a top 10 offensive big and has a bright future.
