Woody

Has anybody else noticed that other team members are starting to throw bounce passes into Woody on pick and rolls? Woody just can't get down to get them. He should be getting passes above his shoulders.

Bounce passes are fine if properly done. It looks like a lot of the passes are kind of dropping the ball and hope it bounces up to Woody. Need to deliver the bounce pass with just a little topspin so it comes up quicker and higher. Not always easy to do and takes practice but it can be done

Most of these passes you speak of have been fine. Woody just doesn't handle bounce passes well.

I wish Iowa would do a high/low feed from the top of the key from Uthoff to Woody more. We have done more pick and roll to Woody recently, although the Minny game was basically a non-starter for Woody.

I tend to agree with this. The great pass from Jok vs Minny caught Woody off guard and went through is legs. He also has a tendency to fumble the ball a lot. That said, his positioning has been excellent and I've heard the announcers yelling for them to throw the ball down low to an open Woody (which hasn't really occurred).

Damn, if Woody can't handle bounce passes well, how can they be fine?
