DePaul’s Darrick Wood is entering his final collegiate basketball season.
Going from NIA Prep to Bridgton Academy to Palm Beach State to Hutchinson CC to DePaul under Purnell to finally DePaul under Leitao is anything but a linear path.
But now he has the opportunity to make one last impact on the Blue Demons as a scorer, defender, and leader before he wraps up his amateur basketball career.
Wood averaged 5.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 18.3 minutes per game in 29 appearances in 2015-16. Each of those numbers were increases over the previous year, his first at DePaul.
