Woody Newton

[samspann1]

I know that it’s SOP here to mock players who’ve transferred out, but it sounds like Woody is doing well. Good for him.


Of course, Kadary played a crucial role in SHU’s win over UConn earlier this week

 

[HOFCeluck]

Congrats to Woody…and Kadary of course

Congrats to Woody…and Kadary of course

Kadary apparently was hurt today. Hope he gets better soon….

Yes, sounds like a head injury

Seton Hall got crushed today by Marquette. Kadary had 10 but he was the only player in double figures.

 

[UpstateSM]

Woody would have been soooooo good here. Could never convince me otherwise.

 

[cuseinseattle]

Met Woody at the dome the year before he came. Really nice kid and his dad was very nice. Happy for him.

 

[Orangezoo]

Woody was starting his last game too. Hope the kid crushes it.

I watched the Seton Hall game. He wasn’t hurt seriously in the game. He did get hit in the face sometime in the 2nd half of the game but continued playing. He did well in spurts in the 1st half but was invisible in the 2nd except for some turnovers. After a bad pass that ended in a Marquette basket, Halloway took him out when Marquette was already up big. The broadcasters said they were confused because Halloway had him go in with about 5 minutes left and he was by the score table but then Richmond walked back and didn’t enter. No explanation was given. The young man is very talented but a total enigma. He totally disappears. Very strange.

Pretty much sums up his time at SH so far. Just an enigma.

He’s inconsistent but it appears his floor is much higher than most other players (like being a 10 point-3 assist guy) but his ceiling isn’t quite as high (he’s probably not going to get you 25-6 or 15-10 any more than once a season)

It’s not bad, but it just limits him to about 25 minutes on average

And yet he was argurably the key to that upset of UConn in the game before this one.
Enigma? Maybe. But still better than any guard we have not named Judah.
Watching him single-handedly stymie the Mutts, I kept thinking "this guy coulda/shoulda/woulda been the next great Orange PG". Sad

 

[TheHaze315]

Not sure why people like to troll kids who transfer out, happy to see a thread acknowledging a kid playing well elsewhere.

Disagree . He’s not better than Joe

In a sport full of hard to pronounce foreign names, I was looking forward to when our starting forwards were Benny Williams and Woody Newton.

Glad to hear Woodys been playing well since losing his dad in the last couple months.

Well, Brown, Bell, Copeland, and Taylor arent too bad. All names who could have started alongside Wally Cleaver.

I think you were a little too hard on the beaver last night.

 

[SmilinBob]

Woody seemed to understand the zone defensively better than most freshmen I've seen on the hill. Nice to see him having success out there in oil land.

 

[OrangeDW]

Good - I was baffled at how he hadn’t done much since transferring. Thought for sure he’d be a solid player. Good to see that he’s coming on.

 

[OrangeDW]

Disagree . He’s not better than Joe

He’s a better PG.

They’re completely different players.

Hoping Copeland develops into that type of player though. As far as 100% zone goes, we seem to do best when we have big guards that can play both ends.

As a PG he absolutely is better than JG3...and I like Joe, just not as a PG or up top on the zone.

This.
Joe is thriving more this year partly because he's back to his natural position at the 2. KR's handle & passing are better than Joe's, but obviously not his shot.
Just a shame that JB couldn't make it work, but the Buddy factor made things more complicated, & directly impacted the team's abysmal record last year.
In any case, water under the bridge- we've got Judah & Sy & Cope...brighter future all around.

Potato head?

You did say the better guard, not “point guard.” Joes been one of the better players in the ACC so far…consistent.
Glad we’re still not appreciating what we have with him.
