I think Woodard is a good player

[NorthCarolinaSooner]

but he makes HORRENDOUS decisions with the basketball WAY TOO many times. Two consecutive trips he shoots a HORRENDOUS layup that is WAY off....the drives and jumps in the air and tries to throw a cross court pass while spinning to find someone. AWFUL.



We need him to make WAY better decisions from this point on.

and we should be FORCE FEEDING Thomas the ball while the only resemblance of size is on the bench for Dayton.

Just my opinion, but he is highly overrated.

I agree with NCS 100%. His tendency to leave his feet and pass as well as penetrating without support irritates me to no end.

Personally ... he'd ride some pine until he stopped leaving his feet. Thats a bad habit.

Yeah, let's play Walker the entire second half and keep Jordan on the bench. LOL!!!

He's the best we got and he's only a sophmore. I was hard on him earlier this year but he's made strides this year and really picked up his game. By the time he's senior he'll be a real player.

The only thing that HE MUST correct is going up in the lane and not having anyone to throw it too. He did have a big steal in the first half to curb momentum, has hit some shots....people tend to forget he's a sophomore way too much around here.

He's been great for us the last 10-12 games. Chill

What (some) people ternd to forget is that Jordan is unquestionably our best (only, really) point guard and our leader on the floor. Whether we win or lose, we will do it with JW on the floor.

Yep.

 

[coolm]

what (some) people tend to forget is this is something he's been doing for two years and I am talking about over the season. Not necessarily just now. It's a habit that he will keep doing unless conditioned otherwise.

 

[NorthCarolinaSooner]

First off....I'm a career basketball coach. I have been a college assistant, high school head coach and a college head coach. I'm not some random pseudo-fan who pretends to know what I am talking about.

I totally believe he is a good player.....I agree that he is our best PG option....and I never said to replace him. Read my post. I said we need him to make better decisions down the stretch.


He drives looking for contact, which I like....but he does it out of control too often. That being said....our shot selection and reliance on the jumper kills us at times too. ESPECIALLY against a team like Dayton, we should be pounding it in to Thomas and let him go to work. They cannot guard him.

Grooms was better than Blair. Woodard is better than Grooms. But, to win consistently at a high level, we need another upgrade.

Payton is coming but Woodard has been great this 2nd half

 

[NorthCarolinaSooner]

much better second half.....good stuff. SWEET SIXTEEN!!!!! YESSSSSSS!!!!

 

[MsProudSooner]

Did it ever occur to some of you that other players are supposed to make themselves available for the pass when he drives and they aren't doing their job? :facepalm

Jordans biggest improvement this year has been late game free throws. He was huge shown the streatch
