2 years agoDallas Mavericks forward/center Christian Wood is excited to be with his new team. It shows as the 26-year-old has been focused on his conditioning level throughout the offseason. "I'm tired," said Wood, speaking at the Mavs Academy youth basketball camp, "I've been in the gym and pushing myself to exhaustion this whole time I've been here." The big man was traded from the Rockets in June after inking a three-year, $41 million contract with Houston in November 2020. Wood has been a potent fantasy producer over the last few years, and he finished the 2021-22 campaign by averaging 17.9 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks while shooting an impressive 39.0% from behind the arc. Yet, his inability to remain healthy remains a concern for fantasy managers. However, if the UNLV alum can stay on the floor, he should continue to be a double-double threat. His efficient percentage from deep is an added bonus for category participants.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
