DECEMBER 27: The Wizards have officially signed Goodwin to a 10-day contract, the team announced in a press release.
DECEMBER 26: The Wizards are planning to sign Jordan Goodwin from their G League affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go, on a 10-day contract under the hardship exemption, Shams Charania of The Athletic tweets.
Goodwin is averaging 15.9 PPG, 6.1 RPG and 3.6 APG in 14 games with the Go-Go, including 10 starts. He went undrafted earlier this year following a four-year college career with Saint Louis.
The 6’3” guard will fortify a backcourt that has two prominent players, Bradley Beal and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, in the league’s health and safety protocols.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I remember Goodwin being a lights out shooter at St Louis. Also, has Schakel debuted yet? I’m interested to see how he plays, especially signing him instead of all the other G Leaguers on Cap City
You are wrong. Goodwin has many abilities, including being the best rebounding guard in college basketball the last two years (over 10 rpg), but he’s not a shooter (27.1% 3-pt for college career). However, I love his future. He battles in every facet of the game and is a good athlete.
