College career

Goodwin, a 6’0” point guard, committed to UCF from Norcross High School. He played for the Knights in the 2013–14 and 2014–15 seasons. He left UCF after being caught taking (though later returning) a bike on campus the summer after his freshman year. [1] [2]

Goodwin landed at Florida Gulf Coast (FGCU) after leaving UCF. After sitting out a season as a transfer, he averaged 18.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game and was named ASUN Conference Newcomer of the Year. [3] He then led the Eagles to an NCAA Tournament berth after earning Atlantic Sun tournament MVP honors. [4]

Following his junior season, Goodwin declared for the 2017 NBA draft without signing with an agent, ultimately deciding to return to FGCU for his senior year. [5]

In his senior year, Goodwin led the Eagles to a regular season Atlantic Sun championship and was named first-team All-Atlantic Sun and the Atlantic Sun Player of the Year. [6] He averaged 18.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game as a senior. [7]

Professional career

Memphis Hustle (2018)

After going undrafted in the 2018 NBA draft, Goodwin signed with the Memphis Grizzlies for the 2018 NBA Summer League. On September 4, he joined the Grizzlies for training camp. [8] He was waived on October 13, as one of the final roster cuts before opening night. [9] Goodwin was subsequently added to the roster of the Grizzlies’ NBA G League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle. [10] In nine appearances with the Hustle, Goodwin averaged 23.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

Denver Nuggets (2018–2019)

On November 29, 2018, Goodwin was signed by the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets were granted an injury hardship relief exception from the NBA, allowing them to add Goodwin to their otherwise full roster. [11] He was waived on December 10, without appearing in any games. [12]

On December 13, 2018, the Memphis Hustle announced that Goodwin had returned to their team. [13] Three days later the Nuggets re-signed Goodwin to a two-way contract. [14]

Goodwin initially blamed a COVID vaccination for his condition but later indicated he wasn't sure. [17]

On October 19, 2023, Goodwin signed with the New York Knicks, [24] but was waived two days later. [25] On November 9, 2023, Goodwin was named to the opening night roster for the Westchester Knicks. [26] On March 27, 2024, he reached a buyout with Westchester. [27]
