How many other 7'1", 260 pound big men are there in college basketball? Woodbury's value lies in the fact that he is tall and relatively strong. Is there something you would like to disagree with?
Who's the best player in the State of Iowa...

He has no skill or value what so ever. Anything you would like to disagree with? Being tall doesnt make you a good basketball player. You dumb.
You were comparing Basabe his senior year who was averaging half as many pts, rebounds and minutes as McKay but that's a great comparison. I compare Burton who averages half as many minutes, rebounds and pts as Uthoff but that's garbage?
Remember when they thought white was comparable to Niang? Good times. I'm glad they found another one to blindly stand behind. Will be fun to continually bring this up as Georges continues to outperform Uthoff as he has this season and the last 4 they've been in college at the same time.
You're right, I should have compared McKay to freshman year Basabe. The stats are still nearly identical.
In all reality, it doesn't matter what year of Basabe I am comparing him to. Both players are similar stylistically, and both players put up similar numbers when playing major minutes. The eye test would tell you the players were similar, and the statistics back that up.
Uthoff and Burton is a terrible comparison because they are not similar stylistically and Burton has never played significant minutes.
This really isn't that hard to figure out.
Wrong. Woodbury's value is as a punch-line.
Or as Lurch on a WGN reboot of the Addams Family.

He was, how many times did Emmitt Smith have 0 yards in a playoff game? Sounds about like Uthoff's ability to disappear
With an answer like that you are either trolling or know literally nothing about the sport of basketball. I'm not going to take the time to discuss with anyone demonstrating either of those characteristics. Have a good day, sir/madam.
So now freshman year Basabe was similar to junior year McKay he's just two inches shorter and not near as athletic. That is the best comparison you could come up with. Lol cmon man
What I learned from a thread full of loser Hawkeye fans???
100% of them have completely changed their mind that thug transfers are worse than 4 year players. Don't think I've ever seen such a 180.

What do you mean EVEN Basabes freshman year? That was his only good year. He looked explosive and was full of potential, though putting up stats on bad teams can be deceiving. So I would agree that as a FR he looked poised to be a McKay type player and potentially much more, it just didn't happen. I tend to think he benefitted as a FR from playing on a bad team with no expectations or meaningful games. He essentially topped out as a space eater with a few decent games as a SR when the team was decent and the games mattered. Does McKay benefit in terms of FG% playing with the likes of Morris and Niang? Certainly, but his touches are very limited with their presence too. Comparing Basabe and McKay in a serious manner is idiotic.
Notice how cocky all 6 iowa basketball fans have become lately? Don't worry guys, February is your month to crash and burn. We all know its coming, so enjoy your 15 minutes in the spotlight while you can.
I won't disagree that he's tall but do you honestly think he's a good bball player? Have you ever watched an NBA game? Imagining Woodbury out there is laughable. Teams would love having him out there no offensive threat and would get blown by and dunked on constantly
