Goodwin was yet another player to benefit from Bledsoe and Knight going down with injuries this season. Goodwin started 13 of his 57 games in 2015. In a 12-game stretch from February 2nd through March 4th, Goodwin averaged 13.8 points, 3.4 assists, and 3.1 rebounds. He scored at least 10 points in 11 of the 12 contests as well.

Goodwin will turn 22-years-old just before the beginning of the upcoming season, in which the Suns have picked up their team option on him for the final year of his rookie contract. He will be a restricted free-agent following next season.

It will be interesting to see how Earl Watson manages the minutes of these four guards next year as all four of them are well deserving of 28-35 minutes per game due to their impact on the court this past season.
