Summary:
Robert Woodard is an athletic, physical swingman that can shoot and score the basketball. He excels at knocking down spot-up jumpers off the catch, and he also can score on hustle plays.
He is also a good rebounder and defender, and he can make chase down blocks to get stops for his team. On the other hand, he’ll need to improve his ability to score off the dribble and playmaking skills, but regardless, Woodard is a second round prospect that could project into a 3 and D type of role in the NBA.
