What up? It’s your boy Wall Street and I’m back. Thank you all very much for tuning in. I greatly appreciate it. If you’re not already subscribed, hit that subscribe button. And if you enjoy this video, please hit the like button. I would appreciate it. Um trying to grow the channel, trying to connect with more people. You know what it is. But let’s dive into it cuz I know why you guys clicked on the video. You want to hear about Jordan Goodwin and the Phoenix Suns. And that’s right. The Los Angeles Lakers waved Jordan Goodwin along with Shake Milton earlier in the offseason so that they had the room to sign Marcus Smart. And the Phoenix Suns have decided to pick up Jordan Goodwin off of waivers. And you rarely see, you know, teams picking up guys before they clear waiverss. Like picking up a dude on waivers is, you know, dedication. They were like, “All right, we’re going to pick this dude up right now, right?” Um, and I want to say this, there was a there was a Bleacher Report writer, uh, Dan Favail, and he said Jordan Goodwin is Phoenix most disrespected hidden gem. And Dan, I want to let you know something. You are 100% right. Because Jordan Goodwin is a beast, okay? mainly on the defensive side of the ball because he is a scrappy scrappy guard, right? I think I’ve said it I’ve talked about Jordan Goodwin in several videos cuz I’m a big fan. You know, he was on the Wizards for a while so I got to see him, you know, firsthand and see what he can do. But he’s a guy that in college, you know, his last two seasons in college was averaging over 10 rebounds a game. And this is a dude who’s a 6’3, 6’4 point guard. Um, so you know that just shows the enthusiasm and the tendency to go after the ball, right? There’s not a lot of guys in the NBA that relentlessly go after the ball. So that’s a big thing there. He also averaged two steals a game for his career in college and thus far in the NBA is averaging just a hair under a steal a game. But he’s only playing 18 minutes a night. So that’s a pretty good you know level of production on the defensive side if you ask me right. So he was in Phoenix um you know for part of the 2023 24 season. Uh he went along with Bradley Beal in that trade you know from DC you know in which we eventually wound up with Jordan Pool in Washington but we got Chris Paul back at you know at first from Phoenix. Um he played 40 games for Phoenix that season before being traded again to Memphis. He played 17 games in Memphis. Started 12 of them. Played 29.3 minutes a night there and averaged eight boards a night, 4.5 assists, 1.5 steals,.5 blocks, and 10 points. Um, and then with the Lakers last season, played 29 games, started five of them, only played about 19 minutes a night, shot 38% from three, which is a careerhigh for him, and averaged a steal a night and 5.6 points per game, along with 3.9 rebounds a night. So, I think he’s definitely going to be able to make an impact on this Sun’s roster. I think this Suns roster is not super focused on defense, right? Like I wouldn’t say that Devin Booker, Jaylen Green are really super defensive guys. I think Dylan Brooks is a, you know, obviously a very strong defender. Um, you have Jared Butler now as well. Also, you know, had time with the Wizards, so I’m a big fan of Jared Butler, too. So, I think they can put together some good defensive lineups here, right? I also like Ryan Dunn who was a rookie for him last season. He’s a versatile defender. Kind of a three and D type of guy. Can play the four, can play the three if he needs to. Um, so I like this move. I like that Jordan Goodwin will have a home in the NBA. I was a little nervous once he got waved. I was like, I don’t know if, you know, a team’s going to pick him up. But, you know, he’s still a young player. Uh, he’s only 26 years old, I believe. Uh, yeah, 26 years old. He’ll be 27 here in October. And I just hope that he gets on the court and he can show what he can do. He’s a He can be a lock down defender. He has a very high upside when it comes to defending guys in the NBA. So, that’s all I got, guys. Let me know what you think about this move. What do you think about Jordan Goodwin going back to Phoenix for another runaround? Let me know. Put some comments. I’m going to catch you later, man. Stay up. Stay blessed. Stay safe. Stay humble. Handle business. Stand on business. Peace out. [Music]
