Denver Nuggets Summer League head coach Jordi Fernandez didn’t mince words when describing what Brandon Goodwin needs to do in order to take the next step in his development.
“If he wants to be a part of this locker room or in the NBA, earn a contract that's different from a two-way, he has to change his mindset [as a guard],” Fernandez said on Tuesday. “He's a great scorer, rebounder for his size. In the NBA, he's not going to play, taking 20 shots like he did in the G League. He's aware of it. He knows he needs to pick up full court on defense.
