There are times when you sit back and watch Christian Wood and wonder, How in the hell did he get to Detroit? Thats not a knock on the Pistons. Not at all. Its a question that comes up regularly because the 24-year-old Wood has all the talent in the world, yet hes playing for his fifth NBA organization, officially, since going undrafted out of UNLV in 2015.

His offensive skills range from rim-bending slams over multiple defenders to a soft touch that extends beyond 23 feet. Woods handle and ability to take defenders off the dribble is like a high school point guard who had a significant growth spurt his senior year.
