-Word carved out a nice role for him this season for the Gaels as a plug n play wing that contribute in a few different areas. He serves as a good passing/DHO hub at the top of the key, can attack his matchup downhill, and can play both spots in PnR schemes. Word is especially adept at snagging offensive rebounds around the rim and using a good set of step through/pivot moves to create high-percentage finishing angles around the basket. If he can prove to be a consistent pick n pop threat from the perimeter and defend on an island outside the arc— he should make some waves at a national level with Team Melo this summer.
