Woodberry is 'major factor' in big wins
Versatile sixth man plays key role on 'Hawks squad
During the preseason, Kansas coach Roy Williams said that he called junior Steve Woodberry into his office to discuss his upcoming role on the team.
By David Dorsey
Kansan sportswriter
Woodberry, who has played four positions for Kansas this season, was faced with the question of whether he should return.
whether he could start at the small forward position, his favorite spot, or he could come off the bench—and get more playing time.
Woodberry said that he did not regret the decision.
And Steve, being the bright and intelligent young man that he is, said, "Coach, I'd like to play more minutes," Williams said.
"I like my role on the team," he said. "I don't mind coming off the bench."
Woolberry is the first player off the bench and usually enters the game for senior guard Rex Walters or junior forward Dartin Hancock. He plays the shooting guard and small forward positions but has spent time at the point guard and power forward positions as well.
Despite being a reserve, he is fifth on the team in

scoring with a 10.3 points a game average.
Dick Vitale, a color commentator for ESPN, called Woodberry the best sixth man in the nation. And Williams said that the Jayhawks backcourt of Walters and senior point guard Adonis Jordan would not be complete without the junior.
"For us and the way we play, I wouldn't trade Exe
and Adonis for any two players in the nation."
Williams said. "But they're even better when you add
in Steve Woodberry.
Woodberry, who answers most questions with "Yes," "No," or simply a shrug, has more than one side to him, Walters said.
"Steve is just a fantastic player. What he gives us with his versatility is just so hard to measure. He knows how to play, and he has great court sense and savvy."
"Off the court, he's a clown," Walters said. "He's always very loose. On the team, he's like the control. When things start getting bad, he kind of settles everyone down."
Junior forward Patrick Richey agreed.
"I tell you one of Steve Woodhery's jokes, but it's probably rated R." Richey said.

scored nine points, had two rebounds and four assists in the 83-77 victory.
"I can't think of one big win where Steve hasn't been a major factor," Williams said. "And if somebody screws up, it might get by a lot of people, but it won't get past this guy. Steve always sees it, and he never forgets it."
