Hugh Greenwood

Practice Report: New Mexico Lobos

Tuesday, February 4 | The Pit (Albuquerque, NM)

Hugh Greenwood — G, 6-3, 205
Junior, 22 years old

Season (31 mpg): 6 PPG, 5 RPG, 3 APG

Notes: Greenwood is the ultimate utility player. He doesn’t excel in any facet of the game (save for rebounding, maybe), but he has a high basketball IQ and won’t make many mistakes. You can count on him to set up the offense in the face of pressure, come up with a rebound when you need it, and make the correct “basketball play.” Greenwood has around 5 “hockey assists” every game. Not an NBA-caliber player, but he’s a winner and the “glue” holding New Mexico together.

New Mexico 66, Wyoming 61 (OT)

February 5, 2014 | The Pit (Albuquerque, NM)

Hugh Greenwood — G, 6-3, 205
Junior, 22 years old

Season (31 mpg): 6 PPG, 5 RPG, 3 APG

Game: 8 pts, 4 rbs, 3 ast
3-5 FG, 2-2 FT

Outlook: Greenwood attempted only 5 shots vs. Wyoming, but with Kendall Williams playing poorly, he was a stabilizing force. Greenwood is a hybrid guard — he primarily plays point guard, but his main contributions are rebounding, and setting up the pass before the pass that leads to a bucket—in other words, he accumulates “hockey assists.” 82% of his attempts are jump shots, but again, Greenwood is not expected to score. He organizes the offense, protects the ball (4.2 assist to turnover ratio), comes up with a rebound, and make the correct “basketball play.” He lacks the athleticism/scoring/court vision/upside/defensive skills to play in the NBA, but he’s a winner and the “glue” holding New Mexico together.

Strengths
— Strong build
— Good rebounder
— High basketball IQ
— Good shooter (38% on jump shots)
— Proven leader

Defects/Areas of Improvement
— Avoids driving in the lane (only 15 attempts in the paint)
— Doesn’t do anything particularly “well”
— Below the rim player
