Yep, no . ‘S given, just went for it.He looked mighty confident knocking down that 1st 3. Loved that and him getting after it on the boards.

Yeah, he was quick to follow that shot. That was nice.We all know that JB values defense a ton. Woody made a big case for himself in this department. Not only that but the kid was very fundamentally sound. The old fashioned get your own miss play - warmed my heart personally. The kid understands the game very well and was obviously well coached coming onto campus.
I actually didn't love his film, which of course, probably says more about my evaluation skills than Woody or his film, but the fact remains. But he played really well tonight. I liked that he moved his feet really well on a possession or two at the top of the zone. Definitely a kid that probably earned himself a little look after tonight.Watching his highlights this past year coming in - you could see he had game. The year prior there was a lot of questions about him and thoughts he was a longshot to ever get time but last year he was legit. Kid can ball.

Motor, confidence, versatility (playing at top of zone), and production - really nice start for a freshman. Have to temper that a little based on the level of competition and the fact that minutes are going to very hard to come by at the spot. Woody will need to consistently play exceptionally well to take any minutes from Q, Griff or Marek (when Sid gets back).My take is out there: Woody reminded me of Derrick Coleman! Not saying level of game, but he played with an "edge" and big motor that reminded me of DC. Even Woody's expression taking foul shots- "come on, I want to get back at it".
Don't expect agreement, but had to throw that take out there!
Because of JB"s quick hook, understand freshmen/backups appearing tentative/afraid to make mistakes.
Great to see a new guy introduce themself by playing with such a big motor and confidence.

I really like Braswell and he may end up a JSouth type player here. But Woody showed me more tonight than Braswell has to date. That is how you earn PT, make a couple plays when you get a chance and look like you belong.
I like the CJ Fair comparison but how about Luke Jackson? Couldn't believe it when I noticed Woody up top in the zone.
He improved a lot after his junior year tape wise. So that could be the issueI actually didn't love his film, which of course, probably says more about my evaluation skills than Woody or his film, but the fact remains.
