After Wood’s career night, the challenge is to turn it into consistent production | Detroit Pistons
DETROIT – NBA coaches like certainty. They’ll take the guy who produces eight points every night 10 times out of 10 over the guy who scores 16 one night and nothing the next. Guys like that become known, often, as X factors. That sounds better than the alternatives: enigmatic, inconsistent, unreliable. Christian Wood remains an X factor for now. Nudging him off of that status is Dwane Casey’s mission. He got a nice boost in Sunday’s 132-98 rout of San Antonio, a game that became a rout largely because of Christian Wood.
