the steady, defense-first Hawkeye big man
In the 2015-16 season, Adam Woodbury gave Iowa a reliable interior anchor, leading the team in rebounding at 8.3 per game while adding 7.6 points, 0.9 assists, and a team-best assist-to-turnover profile that reflected his unusually polished decision-making for a 7-footer.[1][5] His calling card was consistency and selflessness: he started 137 of 138 career games, played in 138 straight, and was widely described as a team-first player whose value showed up in defense, box-outs, and making the right play more than in flashy scoring.[1][3][6]
