thetorch Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 3 hours ago, 2010andBeyond said: Did Javon Bess or Willie Reed have this level of pre-draft interest/activity? Bess worked out for fewer teams but there was interest as he was singed almost immediately after the draft. Landscape was a little different for Reed. He had no shot at being drafted but was at the combine. Those events are more limited now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Even if he doesn't stick in the NBA beyond a year or two, having him drafted and getting minutes would be a nice win for Ford and SLU. Zink, Pistol and brianstl like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was somewhat surprised he didn't talk much about his time with the Billikens. He seemed to give a lot of credit to his agent for his jump up the draft lists.

I think this is a positive sign of interest in JG perhaps from the Spurs as well as from the writer himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 -so is JGood's improvement in his shooting simply launching more shots or is he now getting better instruction on how to shoot? if it is the latter, why was that coaching not available for him and all players during time with SLU?

Goodwin is REALLY motivated to improve the areas that he has been told (by his agent among others) he has to improve to get drafted by the NBA. HE is the prime motor behind the shooting improvement. There is no doubt in my mind that Goodwin is the kind of guy that really works to do what he has to do to get where he wants to go to. He has improved his chances by a lot, but this is due to HIM doing the work. He always was the best at SLU or one of the best, he felt no real need to work hard to do better. You bet that he feels very motivated NOW to improve his shooting. Remember, he was invited to the G league combine and turned it down. He WANTS to be drafted to the NBA.

Guys routinely improve their shooting at the NBA level. When basketball becomes your sole focus and you have to shoot well to keep getting paid, there is both time and motivation to get better. I don't think that is somehow damning of our coaching staff's ability to improve Goodwin's shot. Goodwin actually did improve his 3pt % each year at SLU. Fr - 23.5%, So - 26.3%, Jr - 28.2%, Sr - 31.4%. Quality Is Job 1, BilliesBy40 and Zink like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
