i'm not going to find the quote, but he said something along the lines of "you don't commit to a school, you commit to a coach. i know that's not what people want to hear, but that's how it is".4/26/2011 4:58:22 PM |

^^Interesting. I remember some chatter about Wood transferring on a Purdue message board recently. And I really haven't heard anything about it since...I know with a new coaching staff decommits and some transfers are always a possibility, but we'd be in some serious trouble next year without Wood and Harrow. 4/26/2011 5:39:26 PM |

Wood is one of the best fucking shooters in the country and is athletic and good on defense. He could easily see a long NBA career. We MUST keep him. 4/26/2011 6:07:50 PM |

6'7 athletic shooter that can handle a little is a high demand asset. He can get his shot off in the NBA and clearly has NBA range. He can also defend better than most comparable players and he's still only a sophomore. 4/26/2011 6:15:19 PM |
DalesDeadBug In Pressed Silk 2978 Posts user info edit post |
he still has trouble getting his shot off here unless he's wide open or correctly comes off a screen
i like wood i just wouldn't say he could easily be in the NBA 4/26/2011 6:23:07 PM |

NBA shooters don't need to create their own shot. They just need to hit the ones that are created for them. 4/26/2011 6:26:27 PM |

He had trouble getting off his shots because of how lowes sets were run. He always was cutting and pivoting off ofthe wrong foot given which the hand he show with. 4/26/2011 6:31:01 PM |
DalesDeadBug In Pressed Silk 2978 Posts user info edit post |
i just think you are underestimating how difficult it is to make the NBA
Wood has all the tools in his shed, but he needs to put up more consistent numbers in order to be considered NBA material.
that said, he could blow up next season. i really don't know, just saying he has to put in a lot more work if what you say is true. 4/26/2011 6:33:02 PM |

Numbers don't mean shit. There will be an opportunity for them to see first hand if you can play or not.

Also, if you can shoot with his kind of range and have his height and quick release, you are automatically considered. Kind of like if you are 6-10+ and athletic. 4/26/2011 6:43:01 PM |

his game is too limited right now
he has a lot of work to do to get a shot at the league. it's not impossible but it's very unlikely at this point since he didn't change his game much from fresh-> soph years 4/26/2011 7:13:08 PM |

Prospect Post #73 MyFanPage Add Buddy Re: Back-up Point Guard? Reply
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I look at as an opportunity for my son he gets to play his natural position the two or shooting guard. He never played small foward until he got to State. He usually guarded the two any way on Defense. Remember he played Point in High school, granted it was more of a shooting point guard. He only had 27 turnovers for the entire year so I think we will be OK. Quit picking on Ryan he left because he wants to play in a dribble drive offense. Bottom Line! By the way it is hard to get a Juco into State because of the Academic requirements. " |

I am one of Wood's biggest fans. And all of last season it seemed to me like he was incredibly underutilized, or just plain forgotten.
I don't know what happened there. Hopefully he stays, and hopefully he can be a 16 ppg guy with an above 4o % 3 range. 4/27/2011 1:29:26 PM |
simonn best gottfriend 28968 Posts user info edit post |
he's not that far off. i guess 16ppg would be a 60% bump, which is a lot. i can see it though. 4/27/2011 1:32:26 PM |

i fear that if Wood plays the 2 position, he's going to have to work a lot harder to get open...much better defenders 4/27/2011 2:48:35 PM |
V0LC0M All American 21263 Posts user info edit post |
he doesn't need to get open. Most of the shots he ends up making are when he has a hand in his face and is being defended
I honestly think that's why he will be great 4/27/2011 2:52:04 PM |

Wood is a horrible defender and probably couldn't stop Terrence Oglesby from dropping 30. He should always guard the weakest wing on the floor, preferably with weak side help readily available. 4/27/2011 3:12:45 PM |
