yep heroic effort from Wood today, unfortunately he's the only one who showed up.
At least he can go out knowing he had 2 good games against Carolina in his career. 2/23/2013 5:45:56 PM |

Crazy how efficient he is. Some of his shots recently have been Redick-esque -- running at a full sprint out to the 3 point line, turning and shooting with a guy in his face.
If Wood could run off screens like that every play, our best offense would be to just let him shoot every time.

I've had the same thought. Let Scott shoot, let Howell/Warren/Leslie fight for the offensive rebound = maximum offense.

Hope he can keep this up through the tournies. Nice to see him finishing his career at State on a high note.
Hope we don't waste having one of the best three point shooters and best rebounders in our program's history on the same team. 2/24/2013 2:49:07 PM |

Wood now has the 7th highest Offensive Rating in the country at a ludicrous 129.2
Now, I'll be the first to say offensive rating is a bit skewed and tends to favor low usage guys who don't handle the ball a lot. But Scott Wood isn't the only player in the country who plays such a role.
His Total Shooting % is up to 65.3% which is good for 16th in the country. He's raised his defensive rebound rate to 8.3% this year which isn't TERRIBLE for a SF especially when you consider how few rebounds Howell even leaves available for teammates this year lol.
His block rate is a very respectable 2.3% which means almost every 40 shots that goes up one of them is getting sent back by Scottie. His turnover rate of 12% is the 112th lowest in the country, though that is mitigated by the fact that he's an ineffective passer/creator, so I won't give him a ton of praise for that.
The guy has gotten a lot of criticism over the years, some of which was deserved as he did tend to no-show in some big games and his defense has been spotty at times. On the other hand he's hit quite a few huge shots this year and his FT accuracy at the end of games has sealed several wins for us.
Overall I think he's been underappreciated as a four year starter. His three point numbers speak for themselves and he certainly has helped us space the court. I think if we'd had more depth over the years and he'd played a few less minutes his shooting percentages would be even higher.
Hopefully he closes his career out on a hot streak and doesn't pull a "Duke" where their best shooters always go cold in March Madness their senior year for some reason (see: Trajan Langdon, JJ Redick, and several others) 2/24/2013 3:00:41 PM |

We really need him to shoot more. For all the bullshit about inefficient "shot creaters" (Leslie) opening up the offense...Wood does that way more. Howell and Warren would get a ton of free lay ups from cuts running an offense designed around Wood. 2/24/2013 3:08:49 PM |
face All American 8503 Posts user info edit post |
yeah a perfect example is the play where Wood was running in/out of Howell's screens where UNC was 100% focused on not letting him get an open look. Howell simply drifted to the basket and no one went with him for an easy layup. That was just beautiful execution and recognition by both Howell and whoever passed it (think it was Brown) 2/24/2013 3:27:07 PM |

Wood never makes big shots in big games, and should be coming off the bench only when TJ needs a break. He shouldn't average more than 18 mins a game. 2/25/2013 11:07:50 AM |

Not related to Wood, but earlier in the game, when Calvin dished out a beautiful pass to Howell in the paint, I knew we were going to win

Quote : | "Everyone knows that Erick Green is the most prolific scorer in the ACC.
Shoot, the Virginia Tech guard leads the nation at 25.2 points per game and could become the first ACC player to win a national scoring title since South Carolina’s Grady Wallace in 1957.
But is he the league’s most efficient scorer?
Nope. Scott Wood’s got him beaten there. So do about 15 other ACC players.
There are a bunch of ways to measure offensive efficiency, but a fairly simple one is just dividing the number of points a player has scored by the number of shots he has taken, both field goal and free throw. CONTINUE READING
That method benefits the guys who make a lot of 3-pointers (since they get a whole extra point on those) and free throws (since a guy shooting 90 percent can rack up efficiency points on a guy shooting 60 over time), but doesn’t it make sense that the best shooters would be the most efficient scorers?
Anyway, here are the top 30 scorers in the ACC (going by points per game) rearranged by points per shot:

Scott Wood, NCSU — 1.16
Reggie Bullock, UNC — 1.13
T.J. Warren, NCSU — 1.13
Joe Harris, UVA — 1.09
Seth Curry, DUKE — 1.07
Shane Larkin, MIA — 1.07

Okaro White, FSU — 0.997
P.J. Hairston, UNC — 0.997
Kenny Kadji, MIA — 0.994
Richard Howell, NCSU — 0.992
Quinn Cook, DUKE — 0.991
Dez Wells, UMD — 0.988
Rasheed Sulaimon, DUKE — 0.983
Erick Green, VT — 0.978
Mason Plumlee, DUKE — 0.966
Michael Snaer, FSU — 0.958
Alex Len, UMD — 0.958
Akil Mitchell, UVA — 0.955
Devin Booker, CLEM — 0.941
Durand Scott, MIA — 0.937
Travis McKie, WF — 0.934
Jarell Eddie, VT — 0.916
Olivier Hanlan, BC — 0.906
C.J. Leslie, NCSU — 0.904
K.J. McDaniels, CLEM — 0.903
Marcus Georges-Hunt, GT — 0.891
Lorenzo Brown, NCSU — 0.879
Ryan Anderson, BC — 0.862
James Michael McAdoo, UNC — 0.796
Reflections
— Wood has 346 points on only 299 shots. His career ratio coming into the year was 1.08. He doesn’t create his own shot off the dribble often and he has to run through mazes of screens to get free, but when he gets his shot, he cashes in. Warren is an interesting case as well, having shot only 8.4 times a game this year. If he were to get more shots, would the ratio hold?
— So...Bullock should probably shoot the ball more too, right Tar Heel fans? And maybe McAdoo should be a bit more choosy?
— You can see a pretty clear divide between perimeter types and post types on the list. Howell appears to be the most efficient post scorer, and that should help his first-team All-ACC bona fides. And it’s not just putbacks this year. He’s got himself a little jumper, too.
— Joe Harris is having a great year. Why don’t you throw him on the first team, too?
— With all the talk of Ryan Kelly possibly coming back next week, now seems like a good time to let you know he was averaging 1.03 points per shot before the injury. His two replacements — Amile Jefferson (0.925) and Josh Hairston (0.862) — have left a little lacking.
— This is by no means a be-all, end-all offensive measure. I’m not saying, for instance, that Akil Mitchell is a better offensive weapon than Lorenzo Brown. But give each of them 10 shot attempts in a game — at least this season — and Mitchell will score you 0.76 more points than Brown. Just some food for thought ..." |

Doss2k All American 18474 Posts user info edit post |
I wouldnt imagine so, just too limited in his game. He may make a team that has a roster spot free for a role player. The thing Wood does is makes one defender have to chase him around the whole game freeing up space for the other guys which could be more valuable in the NBA where a lot of ISO is run. Just my hunch at least

I still don't understand all the hype around Erick Green. The guy takes half the shots for VT. Of course he's going to score 25+ per game. Hell, any one of our guys could average 20+ if they took 17 FGA and 5 3PA per game. 3/1/2013 3:39:54 PM |

^he's 8th in the ACC in FG%. The 7 in front of him are mostly bigger men. So not only does he shoot a lot, he makes a high percentage. (CJL and Howell are 5th and 6th)

can't be serious about Erick Green.
His stats are ridiculous.
The guy takes 33% of VT's shots and still manages an incredible 58.9 TS% and 120 o-rating.
D-Reb is 10.8% which is nearly double a lot of PG's. Ast rate is 29.8 and TO is a ridiculously low 10.6% (48th in the nation which is incredible for a PG).
I'd have to agree he deserves POY. With Plumlee and Howell in contention. 3/2/2013 7:48:59 AM |
