The Wizards beat the Hornets in Charlotte for the first time in six years because Jordan Goodwin went full Linsanity.
Goodwin went undrafted after four decent seasons with the Saint Louis Univeristy Billikens. The Wizards signed him in August, and he’s bounced between the NBA team and the G-League Capital City Go-Go.
Injuries and health rules gave Goodwin the first extended NBA action of his career, and he’s made the most of it. In the loss to Memphis, Goodwin was outstanding — 9 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and a block in 26 minutes. Turns out, he was just warming up.
