I was wondering the same thing. Probably just to have another body for the rooks to go against in practice. Or maybe Olshey invited Goodwin as a favor to his agent?
Why not? Not everyone on the summer league roster is under consideration for a training camp invite. Remember Stokes last year? He balled out and it didn’t matter.
Because he's a horrible defender. I'd bring in a good defender to go against our young guards to challenge them a little bit more in practices.
Archie Goodwin John Jenkins K.J. McDaniels MiKyle McIntosh Anfernee Simons Gary Trent Jr Kyle Wiltjer Wade Baldwin IV Zach Collins Caleb Swanigan That could be a fun SL roster to watch.
Initial Reordering: Wade Baldwin IV Anfernee Simons/Archie Goodwin/John Jenkins Gary Trent Jr/K.J. McDaniels Zach Collins/MiKyle McIntosh/Kyle Wiltjer Caleb Swanigan/PapaG? Note: Neil said that Simons would initially play SG and Trent SF, hence the initial placements.
Silly post. You don't think they should throw Simons to the wolves?? This is about development not SL wins... Make sense
The team has not released any official roster if I'm not mistaken. Those guys will get the starters minutes this summer.
