College career

Coming out of Montrose Christian School, Armwood was the 41st ranked recruit according to ESPN. [1] Armwood began his collegiate career at Villanova, where he averaged 2.3 points and 2.1 rebounds per game as a freshman. He improved those numbers to 2.5 points and 3.6 rebounds per game as a sophomore. [2] Due to not receiving much playing time, he decided to transfer to George Washington University and had to sit out the 2011–12 season as a redshirt. George Washington coach Mike Lonergan called Armwood "the first impact recruit we really had." [3] Armwood chose George Washington after mulling his options at Maryland, Iowa, and Texas Tech. [4]

"It was harder than I expected," Armwood said of his redshirt year. "I thought it was going to be kind of easy – just work out every day on my game, but it was a lot harder. I wasn't used to sitting out." [1] In his junior season, Armwood led the Colonials in scoring (11.9 points per game), rebounding (8.8 per game) and blocked shots (2.3 per game). [2] He nearly posted a triple double with 12 points, 10 rebounds and seven blocks in a game against Kansas State. [5] As a senior, Armwood teamed with fellow transfer Maurice Creek in leading George Washington to a 24–9 record and NCAA Tournament berth. In the Round of 64 against Memphis, Armwood tallied 21 points and 5 rebounds in a 71–66 loss to the Tigers. [3] He averaged 12.7 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game and was named Second Team All-Atlantic 10. [2]

Professional career

In August 2014, he signed with Dolomiti Energia Trento in Italy's Lega Basket Serie A. [6]

On August 11, 2017, Armwood was announced by Hungarian side DEAC, that just promoted to the top division Nemzeti Bajnokság I/A. [7]

For the 2017–18 season, Armwood was named to the training camp roster of the Capital City Go-Go of the NBA G League. [8]

On January 7, 2020, Armwood was acquired by the Lakeland Magic in the NBA G League after being acquired from the Go-Go in late December. [9] On January 16, he had 14 points, eight rebounds, three steals and two assists off the bench in a win over the Windy City Bulls. [10] Armwood averaged 6.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 steals per game. He signed with CS Dinamo București of the Liga Națională on November 18. [11] Armwood averaged 14.6 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. On July 31, 2021, he signed with BC Šiauliai of the Lithuanian Basketball League. [12]

The Basketball Tournament (TBT)

In the summer of 2017, Armwood competed in The Basketball Tournament on ESPN for Supernova; a team composed of Villanova University basketball alum. In two games, he averaged 4.5 points and 6.0 rebounds per game to help number two seeded Supernova advance to the second-round where they were defeated 82–74 by Team Fancy. [13]
