LEX 18 — Archie Goodwin is officially La Familia. The Kentucky basketball alumni team hosting The Basketball Tournament (TBT) regional at Memorial Coliseum from July 18-22, announced the addition Friday afternoon.
Goodwin will join Aaron Harrison, Andrew Harrison, Willie Cauley-Stein, Doron Lamb, Ansley Almonor, and DeAndre Liggins as the first seven commitments to La Familia’s roster. Additional player announcements will be made in the coming weeks.
Goodwin spent one season at Kentucky (2012–13), arriving in Lexington as a five-star recruit, Gatorade Player of the Year, and McDonald’s All-American. He started all 33 games of his college career and led the team in scoring with 14.1 points per game, earning SEC All-Freshman Team honors.
Goodwin was selected with the 29th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder, before a series of trades sent him to the Phoenix Suns by the end of draft night. He spent four seasons in the NBA, including three with the Suns and brief stints with the New Orleans Pelicans and Brooklyn Nets. Since moving overseas, Goodwin has played professionally in Asia, Europe, and North America. He currently plays for the Jiangsu Dragons of the Chinese Basketball Association.
