I really like this kid. I definitely think he will be a very solid pickup

 

[jordville]

Woody is always active and ready to go get it! Just needs to punch those in. He knows it though...

 

[jordville]

Good to be on the other side of that D word this time...

Andre Jackson falling 48 spots to 103. What’s up with that?

It seems like he hasn't made any shots since March.

It seems like he hasn't made any shots since March.

This is just not accurate. Andre was very good in Indianapolis. He can score, pass and rebound.

He had a couple of games where he barely shot the ball. Those are the games his team got killed. If you want to criticize him, I think you should attack his FT shooting and unselfishness.

There'a a thing called the internet that would tell you he averaged 14ppg on 53% shooting during the EYBL this year. He can't make a jump shot, but he does everything else. Not sure where you come up with some of this.

The "can't make a jump shot" part is what I'm referring to. Yes, he's a terrific athlete. No argument there.

Well, he's listed as a shooting guard, so 0-3 from three over 5 games plus poor foul shooting kind of makes my point for me, doesn't it?

He's a super athlete who can drive, dunk and rebound. He's more like an under-sized PF than an actual guard. Athleticism only gets you so far when you step up a level.

In 19 minutes of action, Woody went 0-2 (both attempts from 3) yesterday in Team Takeover's first game and win at Peach Jam. He had 5 boards, 1 assist, and 1 block.

STAT. STUFFER.

He much have mentioned he was coming to Syracuse. If he tells someone he has had good talks with Duke he will move up 50 spots

But, it's them intangibles, yo'.
No worries. JB will coach'm up. He does the best when expectations are least.

All this arguing over whether he’s a SG or a PF...

So basically he’s a SF that can’t shoot. A bigger Stevie Thompson. A more athletic Josh Pace. I’ll take him.

you guys know there's an Andre Jackson thread right?

Woody's final 2 games at Peach Jam...

Game 4 loss- 0 points, 6 boards in 19 minutes. The boxscore looks incomplete though.

Game 5 win- 8 points, 2 boards, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block in 22 minutes.

Numbers are underwhelming... just being honest.

He’s pacing himself.

So are your posts..just being honest

Numbers are underwhelming... just being honest.

I would say I'm satisfactorily whelmed.
