At the time the NBA suspended the 2019-20 season indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic, Detroit Pistons forward Christian Wood was enjoying a breakout campaign, putting up huge numbers after getting promoted to a starting role. As a new report suggests, the New York Knicks appear to have taken notice, as the team is apparently targeting the former UNLV Runnin’ Rebels star as a potential free-agent pickup in the 2020 offseason.
On Tuesday, SportsNet New York‘s Ian Begley reported that per unnamed sources, there are some people in the Knicks’ front office that are “enamored” with Wood, who was averaging 13.1 points and 6.3 rebounds in just 21.4 minutes per game when the NBA went on hiatus last Wednesday. The Detroit big man, however, increased those numbers to 23 points and 10 rebounds per game as a starter, while also shooting 40 percent from three-point range since entering the starting lineup.
