The Nuggets signed a former Jazz II pitcher, but they quickly cut him again?

According to the content of the NBA's official trading log, the Denver Nuggets first signed Dane Goodwin, a wing player who was previously in free agent, and then immediately cut him. Although the details of the contract have not been disclosed, if nothing unexpected happens, what Goodwin should have received is a training camp contract containing Exhibit 10 clauses.

Godwin was born in December 1999 and is 25 years old, 198cm tall and weighs 97kg. He is the undraft in the 2023 NBA Draft. Goodwin has participated in NBA Summer League games many times and has received training camp contracts many times, but he has never been able to appear in the NBA arena. Last season, Goodwin played for Salt Lake City Star, a subordinate team of the Utah Jazz in the NBA Development League. He played a total of 45 games in the NBA Development League, averaging 25.2 minutes per game, averaging 9.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. He shot 43.5% from the field, 38.1% from three-point shooting percentage and 79.2% from free throws. Goodwin is also a strong pitcher. He has been able to maintain a three-point shooting percentage of more than 38% in the NBA Development League in the past two seasons. His stability in this regard is indeed quite good, but his abilities in other aspects are relatively limited.

Previously, Goodwin represented the Jazz in the NBA Summer League. He played 6 games in the summer league, averaging 15.5 minutes per game, averaging 3.5 points, 1.7 rebounds, 0.3 assists and 0.5 steals, 0.5 turnovers and 1.5 fouls, shooting percentage of 31.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 100%. Goodwin's performance during the summer league was very average. He did not show his ability at all. His offensive performance was very mediocre, his shooting ability was not played out, and his role on the defensive end was very limited. Therefore, he has no way to attract more attention from the team. In fact, in a deal last month, the Nuggets' NBA Development League subordinate team Grand Rapids Gold has obtained Goodwin's NBA Development League ownership from the Jazz's subordinate team Salt Lake City Star. Combined with the current signing and then refereeing, we can basically be sure that Goodwin will appear in the Grand Rapids Golden squad in the new season. According to the latest CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) rules, if Goodwin can stay in the Grand Rapids Gold for 60 days in the NBA Development League field next season, he will be able to get up to $85,300 from the Nuggets.
