It won’t be long before Woodard carves out a valuable role in this talented Thrill 16s rotation and it’ll be because of all the intangibles he brings. The positional size combined with the plus length, sneaky athleticism and willingness to impact the game beyond the box score are all factors that grassroots coaches hope to find in building a potential championship roster. Woodard showed off his worth on the offensive end yesterday sprinting the lanes wide before darting to the rim and throwing down lobs in transition. There were a few designed lob plays for him in a half court setting and he was where he was supposed to be, but the lack of accuracy on the pass deterred the finish. He’s a connector who will bring energy off the bench and it wouldn’t surprise me for certain matchups if Woodard isn’t inserted into the starting lineup when a defensive punch is needed.
