Was it the Rutgers or Maryland games or both where he had several slams. Item #1) when Woody gets a rebound or the ball close to the rim he seems like he cannot gather himself to get a little flex in his legs and power up with his quads and lower legs. Item #2) Woody does not anticipate the pass sometimes and doesnt start his move to the rim until the ball gets to him (we all see plenty of players who are taking a step while they catch the pass then all they have to do is plant that foot that is already moving and elevate. Item #3) Woody does not hold on to the ball well when he brings it down to go up for a shot (really great big men can do their footwork while the ball is still up by their shoulders.
He can dunk but his footwork and who knows maybe the strength in his legs precludes him from dunking a lot.
In three years I dont know if I have hardly ever seen him use a drop step or an up and under move which are two mainstay, basic moves for anyone with their backs to the basket.
Other thoughts?
I would say if he is paying big money to go to a big man camp he either isnt learning or getting his monies worth. I hope he is awesome next year.
