Bio
Full name is William Shaquille Goodwin. Son of Persephone Goodwin.
Strengths
This guy took the spring and summer (2010) and decided to make a name for himself. Although always blessed with the physical attributes of a difference maker, the athletic power forward lacked the maturity to ever put it all together. However, he has matured and progressed to the point of being one of the top players in his class. Goodwin can excel in many fazes of the game. He has great length and athleticism, runs the floor extremely well and can finish in transition and in traffic. He can drive the ball from the high post or step behind the line to knock down a jump shot. He is also becoming more reliable with his mid range game and his motor is really starting to run at a consistent level. He is extremely active on the offensive glass where he relentlessly battles for the ball.
Weaknesses
He needs to stay focused on development. If he added a good counter move, like an up-and-under or jump hook or some sort of bail out shot, he could be more effective offensively. Although he is a good offensive rebounder, he needs to continue to improve on the defensive glass where he sometimes lacks some grit to fight for a ball in a crowd. At times he will play upright and get pushed off his spot which is normal for younger players. We'd like to see him become more vocal on the floor and become a take command kind of guy.
