Dana Woodley'6'4 165 2021 'John Marshall High School, Richmond VA
Dana is a freakish athlete with both an explosive first step and ridiculously explosive leaping ability! 'He is a physically'lean athlete, a wiry and strong player who doesn't shy away from contact. 'Gifted physically with length, a long wingspan and broad shoulders, great quickness, and fantastic body control. He is a dynamic shot creator using a nice variety of crossovers, between the legs and behind the back dribbles and some spin moves to win isolations or break his man down and get into the lane. 'Dana uses long strides and quickness and once he sees daylight to the rim has the ability to launch himself as if he were shot out of a cannon for highlight-reel dunks. 'He also shows some creativity driving to the rim, spinning off defenders or using side steps. 'Dana plays above the rim but also has a nice touch converting non-dunk finishes through contact. 'More of a spot shooter with three-point range he can extend defenses or blow by his man and shows an improving and respectful jumper off the dribble.
Dana is a good shooter in mid-range areas on catch and shoot opportunities. 'He has a smooth, high release and solid mechanics. He attacks the offensive glass aggressively showing very good timing coupled with his great bounce for stick backs and rebounds. He is an unselfish player despite his prolific scoring potential and does a good job distributing the basketball while attacking the rim. 'Dana can defend multiple positions; quickness and length coupled with excellent footwork allow him to enjoy success defending the perimeter. 'He anticipates well off the ball and is a threat to quickly get into passing lanes for steals which turn into fast-break dunks at the blink of an eye. '
As Dana continues to improve his pull-up jumper his stock will continue to skyrocket. 'He could become one of the 804's most sought after prospects in the 2021 class as he has all the tools for next-level success! '
