Draft-Eve thread on a late riser up many boards: Robert Woodard

Physical Profile:
Height: 6’7
Standing Reach: 8’9.5
Wingspan: 7’2
Weight: 230 lbs
Body Fat: 4.5%
bSPARQ: 95.92 (highest among all wings in draft)
Synergy profile and advanced stats
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
Footage:

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 )
