This 6’3” two guard has a great build with a strong upper body and plus athleticism. He was dynamic attacking off the bounce scoring absolutely at will going downhill time after time. Woods had an explosive burst getting to the cup where he finished great through and around contact. Had several acrobatic layups. Worked well around ball screens both scoring and made several solid passes off the screen. Proved to be a capable shooter. Like what he did defensively with his intensity and rebounded very well for a guard. Breakout performance for this central Illinois wing!
“I think I played really well. Scored the ball really good and made some good passes and played good defense. It was a good camp.”
How would he describe his game?
“I really like to get others involved and play defense. Score the ball a lot. I like playing defense.”
Woods plays with a bulldog mentality on both ends of the floor.
“It is really just where I came from. I came from Peoria, Illinois and I just have to have that mentality.”
How did it go with Team F.O.E. this past spring and summer on the circuit?
“It was really good. I scored the ball a lot and we had some really talented players from the city.”
He is ready to get the season underway with Washington.
“I am looking forward to the Tournament of Champions. It is going to be a really good tournament with a lot of good talent coming through.”
