Darrick Wood, SG
- Thread starter Moose
- Start date
I think either Garrett or Pointer will play shooting guard for us, and I think Anderson commits and Lindsey leaves, so I have Wood as the fifth guard behind Anderson, Harrison, Greene, and Pointer/Garrett. I always assume there won't be injuries, so playing time could be scarce for him, at least initially. Then again, I don't think Lavin would have any issues with running a five guard lineup if he felt it would work.

I couldn't find out much about him. Anyone know his stats.
I agree about DeAngelo but barring injury he will not be on campus for four years.
Kid is great now and has a fantastic work ethic.
DeAngelo will pay the 2 for us. That is etched on stone.
Sir Dominic is a small forward. There have been multiple discussions as to where Garrett will play and I don't profess to have the answer.
D'Angelo will be a threat right away for a few reasons. First off is that he's a fantastic shooter and scorer. He's got a great stroke not only from real deep, but great in the midrange too. He's an aggressive playmaker in the Scottie Reynolds mold, with the swagger to match. No doubt in my mind he's our starting SG and an important reason we can be good even this season. He's a leader and will IMO be the guy that will carry the team on his back. If he's here for 4 years, we wil be phenomenal.
Agree completely.
If Nuri and DeAngelo can each score in double figures this season, which I believe will happen, the rest of the freshmen will find their way and we will be good.
Not only that Aubie, I've read some who are worried about Nuri's outside shooting etc. Let's remember that this kid is a scorer plain and simple who almost eclipsed Wilt's record. More importantly, it is not his jumper that we reall need to succeed, it is his driving ability as well as his garnering assists that we need at the PG spot. I'm more than happy with a 6'4" PG that doesn't look for the outside shot but rather concentrates on driving to the hole for fouls and working on his passing/ lead guard skills. I have no doubt at Nuri at minimum can keep teams honest with his jumper, regardless of how pretty or ugly it is. He's not known as a big time scorer for no reason. We have other guys like Harrison, Greene, Harkless who can make outside shots. Nuri can get his in different ways.

I know there is beef about posting one's own site before, and I understand that. But on Rumble in the Garden, I took a look at Wood's Nike EYBL stats - he can put up shots. He can hit shots, at least inside the arc. He doesn't draw fouls, and in that role, he's not a passer or rebounder. Videos show he has potential, though.
