MORE Archie “Arch Deluxe” Goodwin highlights? Coming into the season for the Suns, I figured we’d see about the same amount of Arch Deluxe that we had in the past years: not very much. Beating out Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight for minutes at either guard spot seemed tough.
Turns out all he needed to do was wait for them (and everybody else) to get injured, and he’s emerge out of his Hornacek-coccoon as a majestic butterfly. A majestic butterfly who throws down huge whamjams and can throw lobs unlike some other players on the roster coughknightsplutterwheeze.
The Suns may not be winning any games with him at the point, but who cares? The only thing that matters is that he and Devin Booker are getting minutes and producing with them. Just don’t call it tanking. Having your team decimated by injuries does not qualify as tanking.
