Built like an NFL defensive end, Woodard is a unique combination of power, explosion, and agility, especially for the forward position. While his offense is limited to dunks and spot up 3’s, defensively he can guard 2-5 making him immensely valuable for his draft range.
NBA Comparisons:
O.G. Anonuby: Versatile defenders with excellent frames but limited offensive games.
PJ Tucker: Girth to guard centers + reliable from corner 3
Zion-lite: Zion is in his own tier of athletes, but Woodard is the closest we have in this class.

Ideal Team Fits:
Woodard would ideally complement a heliocentric, high-usage offensive player in a similar role to PJ Tucker for the Rockets. The Mavericks or Hawks come to mind. Another intriguing option would be a team with an offensive minded center, such as Nuggets or Wolves

Pay attention to the advantage Woodard is afforded with his wingspan, especially defensively. The offense is basic, but easily projectable at the next level. (shoutout @cashiggy11 )
