Areas of improvement
— Poor shooting beyond 12 feet
— Limited ball handling
— Only 200 pounds
— No back to the basket game

Outlook: Woods is a tall and slender forward who provides energy, effort and activity. He is most effective cutting to the basket, while also developing his arsenal to create one on one. Woods began entered college as a raw 6-9 athlete lacking feel or touch. Three years later, he’s developed into a versatile forward who can score from 15-feet and in.

Woods’ minutes have doubled from last season, and his production has likewise followed suit. He impacts the game on the glass, and roams the baseline for cuts toward the rim (80% FG percentage on cuts). He’s improved his jump shot every year (27%; 36%; 42%), while decreasing his attempts, but he’s still a poor shooter in my opinion. Awkward form—he brings the ball way above his head, with an inconsistent release point—and shooting only 38% in spot up situations.

Woods needs to add 20 pounds of muscle and continue to polish his offensive repertoire—specifically adding a few back to the basket moves. But I don’t see it—he lacks a true position, and doesn’t do anything at a particularly “elite” level. To me, he’s a serviceable yet run of the mill athletic forward.
