Sports Illustrated has listed its “Winners” and “Losers” at the NBA Draft Combine and Kentucky’s Archie Goodwin is considered considered in the latter.
Archie Goodwin, Kentucky
Goodwin struggled with his jump shot throughout the combine — “Very flat,” a Western Conference coach said — and looked like the player who said he would be “delusional” to think he was ready for the NBA. There is a raw, Jamal Crawford-like talent in Goodwin, an athletic, dynamic combo guard who can score in a variety of ways. But it could take years to develop that player in him, if it can be brought out at all.
Hopefully Archie is in the gym right now taking shots.
A lot of them.
