You completely forgot to mention his knee injury that took away his explosive athletism and that he was never the same player after. It wasnt coaching it was the injury. His game was based on being a apex athlete and once that was gone he had a hard time

Gusts not true. He didn't want to listen to coaches. You gotta listen to how the guy explains it when he said Seventh felt like the thought of him being criticized for doing something wrong was detrimental to his confidence. Bruh. They not coddling you in college. Step your game up. You doing wrong only was getting you 3ppg.

Why do so many players go to schools where they might not play? If it were me I'd rather go to a slightly weaker team where I could get a lot of run. You can't get better when you're sitting on the bench.

It’s because it’s a mix of bad advice, the label of going to a strong ball program, lack of knowledge, and also the thirst to want to go to the league right away (one and done). Exactly, going to a weaker program but with more minutes, stronger role with a coach who wants to develop your game for the pro level is 10x better.

Confidence is as important as anything in any sport

Bro, success at a young age doesn’t mean you are destined for greatness. Some people peak early but by the time you get in college the rest of the field has caught up. I knew dudes who were dunking at twelve who didn’t even make it to the collegiate level.

This only shows how important confidence is when it comes to basketball.

Seventh Woods vs Dennis Smith Jr was probably the best high school basketball game I’ve ever seen

Crazy how good you have to be to be able to make it in the NBA as a guard.... This dude was the best player in the state coming out of high school... Could jump higher than anyone else could imagine... And still was struggling to get consistent minutes in college.

You would not have played him over a all American, final four most outstanding player and national champion Joel berry either.

Is this was posted over a year ago now but just wanted to let people know Seventh is playing in Ireland for a team called blue daemons and doing really well.😁

It's called peaking too early! After a while all his peers passed him!

Injuries are certainly a hinderance and can turn a career around quickly but more than that is are your really playing bc of your unconditional love for any sport (Jordan,Kobe,Lebron,Doncic,Jeter,Trout, Messi,Reinaldo) or are you playing bc there are conditions predicated on family and the people around you 🤷‍♂️😳 When you work unconditionally,the morning weight room and the 500 shots or 300 baseball swings daily is something you look forward to.When you do things with conditions,those 500 shots,300 swings and miles of running for elite endurance are impossible..

A guard who cannot shoot consistently will not see much playing time. He was only a 4* recruit, not a 5* by the time he graduated from high school. From Rivals, the two guys ranked ahead of him were Nick Ward and Matthew Moyer. Moyer ended up at GWashington in his senior year and average 10 ppg. He's not doing buckets now. Ward is in the second division of a Spanish league making around $80k/year. Kyle Guy was after Woods and is in the NBA. De'Riante Jenkins was ranked after Guy and is playing in Sweden for about $60k/year.

This shit is the problem. As soon as he can’t put up big numbers congruent with his “expectations”, you start playing the “sad” music and use his quotes talking about how he couldn’t be himself. Give me a break. Humility is not a bad thing, unless you’re a millennial. Then it’s the worst thing that can happen to you. Woods thought he was gonna be MJ. Well guess what? MJ sat behind other players and learned and honed his fundamentals. He didn’t pout about not being able to “be himself”. In a team sport, it’s imperative that you learn to play FOR the team. This new age of selfish basketball started with Lebron James. Hopefully it dies with him cuz it’s destroying the game
