The Lakers 6+4 defender is facing a crisis? He never forgets to post photos when practicing hard every day, and the team options make him passive

Although the door to the free market has not been opened, as the draft night ends, the teams have started operations one after another. For example, the Los Angeles Lakers, although there is only one second round pick, the management still has a sense of presence. Through continuous upward operations, they have won the No. 36 draft pick in the second round and signed multiple draft picks.

After this series of operations, Lakers defender Jordan Goodwin seemed to be facing a crisis. He worked hard on his daily life and did not forget to post photos and post them on social media. In fact, Jordan Goodwin performed well in the Lakers this season, but because he has team options, the Lakers can give up Jordan Goodwin at any time, which put him in a passive position, and have the opportunity to show himself to the team and show a good attitude. This is considered as a basic quality as a worker.

Jordan Goodwin will celebrate his 27th birthday after the start of next season, and he is obviously not young anymore. In fact, before joining the Lakers this season, Jordan Goodwin was a typical homeless man. He played for the Washington Wizards, Phoenix Suns and the Memphis Grizzlies respectively, but he only played two games in the first season, and then played 62 times with the Wizards, but that was a typical bad team. Last season, he played for the Suns and the Grizzlies respectively, playing for a total of 57 games, but he almost kept changing teams. Except for the Grizzlies that were full of wounded soldiers at the time, Jordan Goodwin's role was relatively marginal in the other two teams.

But last season, Jordan Goodwin played well, at least during the regular season, he became the surprise several times. After the Lakers sent off Max Christie, there was a vacant position on the wing. Jordan Goodwin quickly won the recognition of coach Redick, including the entire coaching staff, and basically settled in the rotation position. In the data, Jordan Goodwin averaged 5.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game in the regular season, which seems not very eye-catching, but he is good at seizing opportunities, has a 38.2% three-point shooting percentage, and is very hard-working in defense, and can send more than 1 steal per game. The key is that players like Jordan Goodwin are actually quite substitutable, or they are not indispensable. The Lakers' newly won several players, whether they are out of the draft in the second round, are younger than Jordan Goodwin. Even from the contract, it may be just two-way players. Maybe the Lakers are more willing to train them than Jordan Goodwin, who has reached the ceiling and has no room for improvement.
