KYLE WOOD
Men's Basketball

The sophomore guard has emerged as the leader of Chapman's youth movement with his poise in directing the offense and his sharp-shooting ability. Wood currently leads Chapman in scoring with 10.7 points per game and ranks second on the team with 28 three-pointers. He is also the Panthers' top playmaker with 49 assists and 27 steals on defense. Last week Wood set a season-high with six field goals, including a trio of three-pointers, in the Panthers' 72-69 victory over U.C. Santa Cruz - part of Chapman's current eight-game winning streak. The Panthers are 16-6 overall with five games to play.
