Recently I caught up with former NC State Small Forward Scott Wood who has played the past two seasons professionally in Spain for Universidad Catolica De Murica CB. Over the past two seasons he has started nearly half of the games, and has averaged 9.4 points per game while shooting 40% from three-point land.

On the past two seasons playing professionally overseas…

The past two seasons have been good. I played some good basketball ball and developed my game over the time. I’m unsure if I will be with the same team or not. They want to bring me back, but I’m just waiting to see how the market works out for me first.

On how NC State prepared him for his professional career…

It prepared me a lot. I was able to play at the highest level in college and I really didn’t feel like there was a big issue adjusting. I played against great players each day in practice at NC State, and our opponents were filled with great players as well.

On how NC State finished last season…

I thought they finished great. A lot of people doubted them and thought they’d be middle of the “pack”, but they did a great job working everyday. You could really see their progress as the season went on.

On how he think NC State will be next season…

State will be fine next year. Gottfried and his staff will always maximize the most out of their players and the players will always develop. They will play a great schedule and come the end of the year, they will surprise a lot of people again.
