Sometimes, very good players take a while to catch on, and this principle is particularly true of point guards.
As David reported earlier tonight, the New Orleans Pelicans have signed free agent Archie Goodwin. This marks his second NBA stop after three seasons of mixed reviews with the Phoenix Suns. Goodwin make the mistake of coming out after just one season at Kentucky, and he was not drafted until the 29th pick in the 2013 draft.
Early in his lone collegiate season, Goodwin was thought to have lottery pick talent, but he slipped in the draft, and Phoenix scooped him up before his fate became that of a “one and done” second-rounder.
