Jordan Goodwin's journey in the NBA has been tumultuous, but this season with the Los Angeles Lakers was a breakthrough. After being signed on a training camp deal and then cut, he was able to prove himself in the South Bay Lakers and eventually earn a standard NBA contract. His tenacity and defensive skills enabled him to become a crucial rotation player for the team, especially during critical moments in the regular season and playoffs, ultimately gaining the trust of Coach JJ Redick.
Both down the stretch of the regular season in the fight for seeding and then in the playoffs, Goodwin showed he could contribute - particularly on defense and the backboards.
Jordan Goodwin played hard. If there was a loose ball to be chased down, Goodwin was going to go all out to get there.
In fact, he made such an impression that he quickly became a trusted member of the team, exhausting his games played on his two-way deal with the team.
No, he didn't make every shot he took nor was he perfect with where he was supposed to be or even what he was supposed to do on every single possession.
