Lakers Sign Versatile Big Man Christian Wood to Two-Year Deal

Christian Wood agreed to a two-year, $5.7 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, including a player option for the second year.
Wood averaged 16.6 points and 7.3 rebounds per game last season for the Dallas Mavericks.
The Lakers added Wood for frontcourt depth and versatility behind Anthony Davis and LeBron James.
Wood brings efficient scoring, rebounding, and floor-stretching three-point shooting ability.
There are concerns about Wood's defense and locker room presence, but the Lakers believe he can thrive in their system.
