Brandon Wood brings veteran scoring punch and tough on-ball defense to MSU
In the 2011-12 season, Brandon Wood arrived at Michigan State as a proven scoring guard from Valparaiso, where he averaged 17.2 points and 2.7 assists while starting 64 of 65 games; Michigan State described him as an athletic, skilled scorer with range to the NBA arc and the strength to be a strong on-ball defender. He fits a team that wants a mature, physical guard who can create his own shot and compete defensively, though his most notable off-court context included a 2012 arrest reported by national media.
