Player Jordan Goldwire

[dukeboy911]

Is this the only non Zion player to have developed this year?

Bolden. But ya, not exactly comforting to know he might be the next best improved.

 

[TyusStones5]

Start him!

 

[ZackM]

Why are Goldwire's arms as big as Zions? Strangest proportions ever.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Lol, Buckmire. He's going to be Zion's personal assistant for life.

 

[TyusStones5]

Buckmire knows how to play his cards, he is set for life.

 

[CMon85]

Dude has been amazing the last two games. That layup saved us.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

I was wrong. This team desperately needs non-idiots in the rotation, and Goldwire definitely qualifies. Play him over Reddish and O’Connell. Zion and 6-7 zeroes as players win the national title.

 

[bdotling]

Never would I have imagined myself freaking out that Goldwire had cramps and wouldn’t be able to finish the game.

What a heads-up player on both ends of the floor. Out-working Cam Johnson for a loose ball was nice

 

[CMon85]

Last two games

4-4
9pts
3 rebs
3asts
4stls
0TOs
Great defense


Shocked that I’m saying this but he needs to play 20min a game now.

 

[TyusStones5]

What a Warrior!

 

[CMon85]

Dude was hobbling up the court and K refused to call a timeout. I’ll never understand that.

 

[LastHearth]

It was his last timeout and he didn't want to use it, what's the rule on injury timeout in that situation? I mean what if Goldwire just collapsed to the floor writhing in pain with Duke having the ball, would the ref just let them play on?

Jordan masturbates a lot, that's why he had cramps tonight

 

[Topher]

Lol, Buckmire. He's going to be Zion's personal assistant for life.

The Josh Hairston career path aint bad if you can get it

I was yelling at him to fall down in pain when Duke got the ball back, and it was obvious K wouldn’t call timeout. Make the refs stop action to get you out.

 

[dukeboy911]

Kid has been impressive lately. Just gotta hope he continues it because I sure as shit ain't trusting Cam or Javin or AOC to consistently provide for this team in the tourney.

 

[Pantone287]

This feels not real, somehow. Remember how bad he's always been at anything related to basketball? How is this happening?

I also feel like this is proof that any decent athlete can become a legitimate college basketball player. I mean, he was so bad. So bad.

In any case, the brief windows of joy I felt tonight when he did cool stuff and actually seemed to have energy and a will to play the game, unlike our non-Zion freshmen, were pretty great. Forgot what it's like to see players develop over the years.

 

[physicsfactor]

Switching him onto Cameron Johnson was another smart move. Reminded me of Matt Jones on Sam Dekker in 2015. Get right up in the bigger guy’s space so he can’t get a clean look, and he’s not a threat to drive past the quicker defender or very comfortable posting up. Notice on UNC’s next-to-last possession with Goldwire out, DeLaurier got switched onto Johnson, and Johnson was able to shake Javin into a clean look at a stepback.

 

[Rollins]

he's easily the 4th most coordinated player on the team. goes a long way with this bunch
