WOODSON ON JAMES
“Dallas is an incredibly intelligent young man that will provide us with some depth across our front line. He is a tall kid with long arms that can contest and alter shots at the rim. He comes from an NBA background with his father spending a decade in the league and we are excited to bring the James family to Bloomington.”
