Jordan Goodwin

Updated as of 7/31/2021, scouting report written by Alan Lu.
2021 rankings were finalized on 7/29/21.

Height: 6-3
Weight: 205
College: Saint Louis
Classification: Senior
Birthdate: 10/23/1998

Projected Draft Range: 2nd Round to Undrafted

Pros:

Adequate scorer off the dribble
Can post up smaller players
Excels at scoring on off-ball motion plays
Adequate playmaker
Very good rebounder
Solid defender that can get steals
Good athlete

Cons:

Needs to improve his shooting
Needs to improve his free throw shooting
Struggles to score in traffic
Can be prone to hoisting up questionable shots
Can play too wildly on offense
Can gamble too much on defense

Summary:

Jordan Goodwin is an athletic, strong combo guard that may project to be a defensive specialist in professional basketball.  He will need to really improve his jump shot, and he can tend to be too turnover prone in games, but his athleticism, defensive skills, and ability to guard opponents could enable him to get looks from NBA teams.

He will likely need to significantly improve his jump shot and also show that he can reliably run the point.   If he has a solid senior season and can make the necessary strides to develop his game, Goodwin could potentially find a way to make a team’s roster in the NBA.
