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
From how you explained it i really feel for the dude. He was failed by everyone else. He wasn’t his own downfall. He put the work in and did everything right, he just got screwed by life and didn’t get a confidence boost when he needed it
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.
@@josephhollis526 I can understand that but there'd be plenty of games and NCAA Tournament to prove your skills and be seen even on a team that's not as respected as North Carolina.
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.
@@TonyJackaloni I hope not. Kevin was an assistant at Georgetown when Jeff Greene played there and he’s still in the league. He was head coach at Binghamton University and led them to an NCAA tournament appearance. So, I think it would be hard to blame him with his résumé.
@@InitiallyJB I think Kevin is more interested in helping kids from this area. He’s not chasing the limelight at big schools. He lead Binghamton to an NCAA appearance a few years ago.

Shoulda went to USC Gamecocks the year before he graduated Gamecocks made it to the final four. He could’ve made the state so hyped and been the superstar.
As a tar heel fan it’s obvious his knee was never ever the same. Easy to say unc was not the place for him but let’s be honest. You would not have played him over a all American, final four most outstanding player and national champion Joel berry either. Maybe roy was a bit old school but you yourself said he played in every game he was ever available to play at North Carolina
I know how he feels too. I was dunking & all that freshman year. As I kept getting older kids was catching up. I still sit & remember the days I was that MAN!! Makes you sit & wonder what you could have done to change things..
crazy to read something like this tbh...I remember me playing on my mini-hoop in my room as a kid, trying to imitate everyone of his moves because I was so fascinated. Gave me real goosebumps once I reviewed the mixtape recently because I associate such positive memories with that video.
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.
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.😁
The kid made a mistake going to NC when there already was a suspr star point guard. I would've gone to a school where they need a guard a d then shine. Being behind someone and that impact csn ruin your play
Yeah, seriously. People are really blaming UNC for him not developing into an NBA star? They produce the most NBA players of any school, or close to it. He was just a tremendous athlete who really couldn't hack it playing against top competition.
He should have not jumped on a bandwagon team and actually gone to a school that would have given him playing time, instead he wanted to go to a media darling big school and screwed his future not considering the fact that every player on the team is a high ranked athlete.
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..
He went to college and got exposed. These mix tapes don’t tell the story about a player’s ability in a full game against commensurate competition. Boys be flailing in the fire.
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.
High school rankings are all over the place. I do not guys like Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, Damian Lillard, Paul George, and Ja Morant were ranked in the top 100 on any recruiting services in high school.
@lawrenceabbott9599 Kyle Guy played 53 games in the NBA and left to play for the Greek Basketball League in 2022 where he earns about $200K a season. Meanwhile his Virginia teammates DeAndre Hunter and Ty Jerome are multi millionaires. And his Virginia teammates Mamadi Diakite, Braxton Key and Jack Salt are all in the G League where they earn no more than $100k a season.
Unfortunately he picked the wrong college. Needed to go somewhere he could display his individual talents. Unc is known to have talent that won’t have a chance to put up big numbers.
False…Seventh wasn’t the same player after he got hurt. His jumper wasn’t reliable and his handle was shaky. Coby White came there and shined over him.
With Seventh Woods , it was mental definitely. I can relate, Ben Simmons is another example .You can have Lebron James talent but without confidence it’s means nothing.
I was just saying this. Guys like Bennet, Fultz and Ben lost confidence and couldn’t handle the pressure. Not everyone can because they weren’t praised too much like Lebron or Zion (in the beginning). Zion didn’t have this affect him (Moriah situation) because he already was treated like a king so much at the start of his career and high school/college.
He should of never went to UNC. George Town would of been better . Because Unc is a fundamental school. He needed to go somewhere that was gona cater to his style of play. To me he reminds me of Iverson
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
I think LJ got a Karma moment with his last touch of the basketball getting blocked in Game 4 of the Finals this year against the Nuggets. Maybe if he had passed the ball since he didn't go for the shot............
@@2004mojo no doubt. It’s funny how the LeMedia used to call it “making the right basketball play”. Lebron is so desperate to top MJ that in these cerebral moments, he can’t get past his own selfishness. 4 straight opportunities in this Finals to tie or win and he comes up small every time. The media covers for him and you wonder why he keeps hanging around. Will this nightmare ever end for basketball fans who are sick of the lies and narratives and just want to watch basketball
@@verbalkint3447 I agree. Funny thing is he doesn't even look like he's enjoying himself. LeBron's hanging around because he wants at least one more ring.
And if you notice, hoop mixtape, ball if life, and overtime always hype up players that aren’t really that good. If you’re a leaper they will have you looking like a top 10 player based on unnecessary hype alone. There is another freshman in Cali they are hyping just like they did 7th

He was at his best at UNC tho. His numbers never got better at much worse schools with worse comp
Let kids be kids. Thanks to the adults in his life, he peaked at 14!!
injury bro
Great video man, love the positivity at the end, if it’s meant to be it’ll be, wishing bro the best ✊🏾
This only shows how important confidence is when it comes to basketball.
That and you gotta have more than athleticism especially at PG. Having no jumpshot made it worse. Plus he was a CG moved to PG

Where did you play ball at?
You could of got skills instead of just dunking?
You peaked in Highschool damm that sucks soooo bad
Seventh Woods vs Dennis Smith Jr was probably the best high school basketball game I’ve ever seen

Anyone else hear how before pauses the host drags out the word before the pause? Is this a technique with science behind it? Is there a name for it?
It's called peaking too early! After a while all his peers passed him!

I heard he might go back

I worked at walmart with his older brother awhile back
He just got signed to a small team in Ireland
At least he’s not Newman 😭
He’s in cork Ireland now playing with a team
I thought Seventh was going to be a beast in the NBA. I pictured him as a Donovan Mitchell type of player.
