He has quickly become a staple in Jordan Ott\u2019s rotation and a major piece in the culture change that has taken place with his relentless approach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Goodwin is averaging 9.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.4 steals in 21.8 minutes per game on a 41\/37\/77 shooting split.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightsideofthesun.com\/suns-news\/96038\/phoenix-suns-jordan-goodwin-contract-decision-oklahoma-city-thunder-breakout-season-analysis\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">our Bruce Veliz broke down<\/a> yesterday, Goodwin has more than earned it with his stellar play this season. He has shot the ball extremely well of late, including a career high 24 point game for the ages in the win against the Thunder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Goodwin will play his former team (Grizzlies) tonight, who the Suns actually traded him to back in the 2023-24 season after his first stint in Phoenix. A full circle moment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Let\u2019s all take a moment to thank the Lakers for gifting us this gem!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It should absolutely not come as a surprise to anyone, but this morning, Arizona Sports\u2019 John Gambadoro confirmed&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":523095,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3791],"tags":[7,6,2065,472,4045,604,4728],"class_list":{"0":"post-523094","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-phoenix-suns","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-nba","10":"tag-phoenix","11":"tag-phoenix-suns","12":"tag-phoenixsuns","13":"tag-suns","14":"tag-suns-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115855275242136505","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/523094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=523094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/523094\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/523095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=523094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=523094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=523094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
