[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1226041, member: 7292"] The comparison to Marcus Smart is not a bad one. I actually made the same comparison before Ford/SLU came into play. So there is nothing wrong with Ford telling Goodwin that he could become the next Marcus Smart, or that his pro future depends on being able to play PG. That much is true. I had watched Marcus Smart in HS and he was not a true PG either, although a better player with more advanced combo skills than Goodwin. Goodwin is a SG/SF who has played more PF than PG in HS. So it remains to be seen whether he can make that transition in college (I personally have doubts based on his HS career so far). But he is indeed a very tough, mentally and physically strong player, who we would have loved to get. [url]http://www.illinoisloyalty.com/Forums/showpost.php?p=1217312&postcount=2684[/url] [/QUOTE]
