Woodbury played for the Sacramento Kings in the NBA Summer League. Woodbury was drafted in the first round of the 2016 NBA Development League Draft by the Maine Red Claws. Alongside Omari Johnson and a 2017 first round pick, he was traded to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in exchange for Dallas Lauderdale and Terran Petteway.[7] Iowa teammate Jarrod Uthoff joined the Mad Ants in February 2017.[8] The following season, he joined the Westchester Knicks. He saw an increase in minutes in March due to Nigel Hayes being called up by the Toronto Raptors and had seven points and 11 rebounds in a loss to the Long Island Nets.[9] Woodbury averaged 5.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game.[10]
