Profile:
Goodwin is a power wing that had an extremely productive sophomore season and followed it up with a strong summer with the St. Louis Eagles. He is best powering his way to the hoop and scoring in the lane. Goodwin is also an elite passer and a superior offensive rebounder which is where he gets a lot of his points. One of the top prospects in the class of 2017.
Odds to Win:
3/1
Why he Can Win:
Goodwin will be the go to player on the metro east’s top team and a potential 3A state title favorite. He stuffs the stat sheet game in and game out. The way he physically dominates a game is impressive. He passes both the written and eye test of voters. He should dominate the first and second place votes from the southern part of the state.
Obstacles to Win:
First he is only a junior. Juniors very rarely win this award. Second he probably will not receive many votes from the northern part of the state as Althoff will not play any games in the Chicago area so those voters will have to rely on reading about the power guard.
