The video is right there. Its hard to refute.
Half the people who saw the interview thinks he was kidding or half serious. The other half thinks he is dead serious. The truth as usual is somewhere in the middle.
Watch the play again. Giving it to Len would of mean Len hoisting a tough tough shot or have it stripped. Hawks defense was established. If anything Mirza was lurking at the elbows and could if been plan A or B.
Goodwin is also 21 and says things like a 21 year old would say.. He also just nailed a buzzer beater in a game he played very well in. But instead of just being happy for him... Lets just focus on the negatives shall we.
This forum has become just full of haters. Even for the young players.
I said right away that he had a great game. The comment after the game was just stupid.
I completely disagree with your take on the play. Len made the high screen, and rolled towards the basket with a guard on him a whole foot shorter. Initially Len has a somewhat open shot, if the pass came right off the screen, with plenty of time to get a good shot. When the pass doesn't come he took that smaller player closer to the basket. Ending around the free throw line. He was hitting the midrange shots and was 6-10 for the game. He not only had the better shot, but the better percentage for the game. But instead Goodwin took a contested three, when we only needed a two, with a larger player switched on him, and at the time was 6-16. He just isn't very smart, and his comments back that. After rewatching it again, Len didn't move as quickly as I initially saw, but still has a much smaller player on him, if a high pass was given. And he ends almost at the basket.
Overall, he isn't a point guard (both our centers had more assists than him), and he isn't a better sg than Booker. Last he isn't a better SF than Warren. So it just doesn't leave him with much room. He should have worked his arse off on his handles once we drafted Booker, but oh well. I think he is a good kid, who works hard, but his thoughts of his abilities are higher than the actual abilities.
I don't hate him at all, and was very happy and proud of his last game. He should just keep his mouth shut, and watch Bull Durham for interviews.
Good research BW.
