Well, I don't think he has the pure shooting stroke of a Nichols.  I also don't think he runs the court like a greyhound on the fast break like Kris Joseph did.  Fair was crafty along the baseline and could hit an open 3 when people weren't focusing on him.

I see Woody as a kind of Damone Brown player.  Kind of a tweener forward, not a great outside shot despite his gaudy recent numbers. He's not an inside-out kind of guy like Ryan Blackwell.  Brown had to fill out his body and wait his turn, but by the time he got his shot, he had learned how to play.

That's kind of how I see Woody, although his body is filling out quicker than people may have expected.  That's great (for once!).  I do hope that Bobby Braswell gets his shot next year, though.

Maybe if more guys could see a legitimate way to the floor, so the coach could see them get more than 1 or 2 minutes run if they make a mistake, maybe we only lose 2 transfers and not 4 of them.  I hate having to rebuild teams on the fly like this.  We don't have the contacts into the top AAU teams like we used to.

Now mostly we focus on prep schools where we can get the kids who were under the radar - either recuperating from an injury that messed up their senior year recruiting (like Fair), or for those kids who need a year or two to mature and play against a higher level of competition than their local high school league could offer (like Lydon or Buddy).
