Jordan Goodwin Locked Into Expanded Role Following Career-Best Season

Jordan Goodwin enters the upcoming season with the Phoenix Suns following a breakout campaign where he averaged 8.7 points and 4.9 rebounds across 70 games. Having inked a three-year, $19 million contract extension over the summer, Goodwin is projected to see an increased workload of 25-27 minutes per night. The coaching staff is relying on his improved 37.1% three-point shooting and tenacious perimeter defense to anchor the team's gritty second-unit identity.
