Darrick Wood brings length, defensive activity, and veteran backcourt utility to DePaul
Wood is a 6'5" guard whose value is built more on **size, defensive disruption, and versatility** than on big scoring totals; his career NCAA line shows modest offense but a notable **1.2 steals per game** in his listed career averages, and DePaul’s roster notes confirm he was a junior-college transfer with experience at Hutchinson CC. For a team, he fits best as a disruptive, low-usage connector who can pressure the ball, cover multiple guard spots, and add mature, role-player toughness rather than star-level shot creation.
