I've seen a couple sites say that the Wizards have two 2 way players signed.  I can only find Winston.  Anybody know the other player?

If no other team signs Goodwin to roster or a two-way contract, he will have a chance to collect his $50,000 bonus by signing with the Wizzards G-League affiliate.

It’s funny that the Wizards signed the guy the Lakers waived and the Lakers signed the guy the Wiz waived (Huff).

I think if Goodwin continues to improve his 3 point shot, he may get another shot.

Loved Goodwin as a Billiken, but after watching him for 4 years, I do not see much of a chance his 3 or shot will improve even to a mediocre level by NBA standards.  Some things you just can't teach, you got it or you don't.  He's going to make it or not on his other skills.

I am not disagreeing with you but Marcus Smart is a career 32% three shooter in the NBA. His best year was 36%.

Goodwin's % improved every year at SLU.  Without having to deal with schoolwork, he has much more time to work on his shot now.  I'm not saying it is likely, but I don't think it is out of the question that he might improve enough to be passable in the NBA.

That's kinda wild.  Because he was in competition with Goodiwn, I followed Huff during summer league and preseason as well.  I wasn't impressed at all with him.  I guess "you can't teach height" as they always say.

He'll be playing with the Wizard's G-League affiliate, the Capital City Go-Gos.  The exhibit 10 deal he signed means that he gets a big bonus if he stays with the G-League for 60 days.

The roster on the Go-Gos website still says "coming soon" which is because the G-League draft hasn't happened yet.  G-League draft is for guys who aren't already affiliated with a team, so Goodwin isn't part of the draft.

G-League draft is 10/23.  Training camps run 10/25 to 11/4.  https://gleague.nba.com/key-dates/

Go-Gos first game is 11/5.  https://capitalcity.gleague.nba.com/schedule/

Not exactly news, but Goodwin is on the Capital City GoGo's training camp roster:

All guards on that roster.

Hope Goodwins skillet doesn't pigeonhole him into playing a different position and lose development time.

It will be what it will be. We can be certain that he will try his best and work like crazy to achieve his goal.

Oh man, good observation.  I didn't know much about any of the other guys on the roster.  Really weird they'd load up so heavy on guards and wings with only Jamie Echenique (6'11") as the only player above 6'7".  I have to imagine there will be more movement to balance out the roster as training camp goes on, but don't follow G-League close enough to know for sure.

I'd like Goodwin to be the primary ball-handler & a key offensive piece for his development.  On the bright side, I actually think he'll be able to showcase his skills that will be able to make an impact for an NBA team better on a roster with a bunch of smaller guys.  Goodwin can be a Bruce Brown type undersized big on this roster.  If he can prove he can defend up & down the roster, grab rebounds, and be a good secondary playmaker hopefully that impresses NBA teams enough to give him a shot in that role.

Yeah.  Their two way contract players are both guards.  I'd imagine they would be the starters.

Good News: Goodwin scored the first points of the season for the Go Gos.

Bad News: The Westchester Knicks scored 19 points before the Goodwin score.
