UPDATED: Adam Woodbury block-o-meter thread

[kmajhawk]

It all stems from this thread Jon started before the season started: http://www.hawkeyenation.com/forum/basketball/47297-what-fair-expectations-adam-woodbury.html

Good read and some laughs when they start arguing about Woodbury's shot blocking abilities. But here are some Duffman highlights in that thread, some laughs here to.

LOLZ

Hi guys. Not banned.

Hi guys. Not banned.

Are you an alt for Duff?

 

[TheeHawkeye]

Hey Duff, instead of continuing this stupid Iowa freshman bashing thread, how about getting this moron banned? Clear violation of the forum rules.

Big difference between being a moron and having a realistic perspective.

 

[busabus114]

Duff can you post a comparison between Woodbury's block and the block totals of "legitimate shot blockers" like White, Olasani and Marble? TIA

Duff derp

That happens a lot

...except that your perspective was that Woodbury hadn't dunked. There's a word for people whose perspective is the opposite of reality, but who define it as "reality." See above.

 

[TheeHawkeye]

My perspective is that Woody isn't gonna get it done. It's Basabe Spicey's(Gus Johnson voice) time to get a start. Woody might be a great kid but her isn't getting the job done right now. Why start him and have him only play 10 a game?

Oh, that's your perspective. I could have sworn it was that Woodbury hasn't dunked. How could I possibly have thought that?

Its true, and I've been on record that woody has exceeded my expectations this year in every phase of the game, including defensively.

Ohh yer banned, you just don't know it yet.

Yeah that is included in the perspective that Woody isn't gonna get it done. He has had a put back dunk. I want a standing jam that is measured on the richter scale.

Worthwhile thread then.

 

[HawkeyeMHA]

I love the whole dunk issue when talking about how good someone is or isn't in basketball. It's very similar to the how much can you bench press question as men size themselves up. Lots of guys that could dunk sat on the bench behind me....

Woody needs some training with 40 pound chains.

Yeah, because that has so much to do with whether or not a guy is good at basketball. Woody does some good things for the team. Basabe does, too, but I don't think playing him at the 5 consistently would be a good thing.

 

[HawkeyeMHA]

He will get there.

I can't believe GabeO hasn't ripped the starting C spot from Brickbury. Why is Fran holding him back?

Probably the same reason Fran is holding Basabe back, he knows he's an NBA talent and is trying to hide it to keep them both at Iowa for another year.

If this 5'5" guy can learn to jump, then Woody can too.
