SEPTEMBER 11: The Blazers have officially announced their deal with Goodwin, issuing a press release to confirm the signing.
SEPTEMBER 7: The Trail Blazers have agreed to a training camp deal with guard Archie Goodwin, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN tweets. The 23-year-old last played for the Nets prior to being waived over the summer.
While Goodwin has shown flashes of modest potential at various points throughout his career, he hasn’t been able to thrive with a big league club just yet.
With one roster spot available, however, Goodwin stands a chance of sticking with the the Blazers into the regular season.
If he does, expect to see the combo guard in direct competition with reserves Shabazz Napier and Pat Connaughton for reps behind the team’s All-Star backcourt of Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t know why this guy has been so overlooked. I think with some work on his three point shot, he could be a Sean Kilpatrick type player.
The fact that you’re giving him a Sean Kilpatrick ceiling should tell you why this guy can’t hang onto a roster spot
Well Sean Kilpatrick has a roster spot
he’s just saying he’s overlooked, not a star
