Isn't he the 5'2" kid from Kentucky?

Who the fuck is Private OJ Santiago?

You got the Kentucky part right, but he's 6'5":

Love his game, actually pretty hyped about this. I think he would fit well in Stotts' system. Only problem is depth, not sure there's room, could be tough for him to beat out Bazz.

Haven't seen him play, how's his defense?

Probably a touch below Shabazz.

He's kind of the Thomas Robinson of guards - great athleticism, poor BBIQ, no real skills other than being able to jump really high.

Same thing on both ends of the court - has the athleticism to be a good defender, but lacks the discipline and fundamentals to pull it off.

Small Sample Size, but he had a PER of 18.7 last season (in 15 games), with a great True Shooting % and Free Throw Rate, but he's a below-average defender (a DRtg of 113 on a team that had an overall DRtg of 110). Basically, if we missed Gerald Henderson, we'll love Archie Goodwin.

So The People's Champ 2.0?

So The People's Champ 2.0?

With a worse 3 point shot.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

With a worse 3 point shot.

Actually, Archie shoots better than Barton did for us, but worse than Barton does for Denver.

We only have 14 guaranteed contracts. There's definitely room for Goodwin. Wilcox has a two way deal so he can just go down to the g league.

So why so few games played each season ? DNPCD or injuries ?

I've always liked him. He turned pro too early.

 

[Nhawz]

Is there an echo in here?

 

[theprunetang]

Well, we know who @Blazer4ever will be upset about if he gets cut after training camp.

I thought Archie Goodwin was Nero Wolfe's gumshoe detective:

 

[Mr. Robot]

I really dont like this guy, I watched him while he played for Suns and hes bad

 

[Nikolokolus]

I really dont like this guy, I watched him while he played for Suns and hes bad

Sounds like a Blazer!

Well, time to lock this thread.

dnpcd.
expectations like Nards had in Portland. Failed to live up to said expectations.

I don't know why? It doesn't bother me but I don't ignore anyone in here.
