It was a tale of two halves for Goodman in Denmark-Olar’s matchup with High Point Academy early Saturday Morning. Although he was effective in both, it was what he did in each half that was different. In the first, Joshua played more of a facilitating role, dishing out assists and putting his teammates in a position to be successful with his handle and vision. In the second half, he started to attack the rim more using his size and athleticism to finish at the rim. He often had to do so through contact, earning a couple of old-fashioned three-point plays. Goodman is a good defender when engaged and will be used at the top of a 2-3 zone despite his size. In the end, his stat line looks very balanced putting up 14 Points, 6 Rebounds, 5 Assists, 2 Steals, and 2 Blocks.

HIs team looks to him as the leader and he is consistently called on to: Score, rebound, defend and facilitate for his team. Standing at 6’4/6’5, he showed his versatility, playing almost all five positions for his team.
