Professional career

Phoenix Suns (2013–present)

2013–14 season

Goodwin was chosen by the Oklahoma City Thunder with the 29th overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft.[6] His rights were then traded to the Golden State Warriors, before finally to the Phoenix Suns, all on draft night. On July 12, 2013, he signed his rookie scale contract with the Suns and joined them for the 2013 NBA Summer League.[7] In his first Summer League game, Goodwin recorded 13 points and 3 rebounds against the Portland Trail Blazers.[8]

On October 30, 2013, Goodwin made his NBA debut against the Portland Trail Blazers. In 8 minutes of action, Goodwin attempted three shots and grabbed one offensive rebound. Goodwin, known as an aggressive scorer in college, went scoreless in his NBA debut. However, in Goodwin's second game against the Utah Jazz on November 1, he scored his first NBA field goal. In 11 minutes of action, Goodwin shot 2-of-5 from the field and ended with 4 points; he also recorded 2 blocks. On November 19, 2013, he recorded his first double-digit scoring game with 16 points in a loss to the Sacramento Kings.[9]

On January 23, 2014, Goodwin was assigned to the Bakersfield Jam of the NBA Development League.[10] He was recalled on January 26,[11] reassigned on February 5,[12] and recalled again on February 10.[13] In the Suns' final game of the season, Goodwin scored a career-high 29 points in a 104–99 win over the Sacramento Kings.

2014–15 season

After managing just 10 games for the Suns to start the season, Goodwin was reassigned to the Bakersfield Jam on December 25, 2014.[14] He was recalled six days later.[15] He was later reassigned to the Jam several times during the season[16] as he helped the Jam win the inaugural championship of the D-League Showcase and won the Showcase Tournament's MVP award on January 19.[17] He once again had an impressive regular season finale, scoring a season-high 18 points in a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.[18]

2015–16 season

To begin the 2015–16 season, Goodwin saw limited court time aside from a 12-point, 17-minute outing in the team’s dismal season opener, which saw the Suns routed by the Dallas Mavericks at home. Over the next seven games, Goodwin averaged just 6.9 minutes per game, competing for court time with Devin Booker and Sonny Weems.[19] He later had two 12-point games in mid-November, both of which he played over 24 minutes in. He did not see regular court time for the Suns until early January following the injury to Eric Bledsoe.[20] On January 21, 2016, he scored a season-high 20 points as a starter in a loss to the San Antonio Spurs.[21] Two days later, he topped that mark with 24 points against the Atlanta Hawks. In that game, Goodwin hit a three-pointer from atop the arc with 0.1 seconds left to lift the Suns over the Hawks with a 98–95 win, ending a six-game losing streak.[22] He topped his season-high mark for a third game in a row on January 26, scoring 26 points in a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.[23] On February 2, he recorded 18 points and a career-high 12 assists in a 104–97 loss to the Toronto Raptors.[24] On April 9, he'd tie his season-high of 24 points, but injure his left ankle during a blowout 121–100 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
