7) Seventh Woods

2018-19 stats:

13.9 MPG, 3.5 PPG, 1.4 RPG, 2.6 APG, 1.2 SPG, 0.2 BPG, 1.8 TPG
39.6 FG%, 42.9 3P%, 68.2 FT%

Best game:

12/15 vs. Gonzaga: 14 points, four rebounds, one assist, two steals, 6-of-9 shooting, and 2-of-2 from three-point range

Advanced data:

Woods has a lower shooting percentage (39.6) than anyone on the Tar Heels’ roster not named Shea Rush (he’s taken just four shots this season), despite having the fourth-highest three-point shooting percentage on the team. Don’t be deceived, though; he’s attempted just seven shots from beyond the arc.

1: The number of times that Woods has scored double-digit points during his career at North Carolina

Synopsis:

[Obligatory blurb about a YouTube video with 15 million views] Woods began the season with high expectations, both for himself and from the UNC faithful. There was even a substantial amount of debate about whether he or Coby White would be the team’s starting point guard. Gosh, it seems like eons ago when that was still in question. White has since firmly established himself as the team’s No. 1 point guard, while Woods continues to struggle with consistency and ball control. He’s played single-digit minutes off the bench in three of the Tar Heels’ past five games.
