    Phoenix Suns rookie shooting guard Archie Goodwin declared for the 2013 NBA Draft after just one season at the University of Kentucky thinking he was one of the best players to enter this year’s weakened crop of prospects. But he had to sit back and watch 28 teams bypass him in favor of players they believed to be better prospects than Goodwin.

    The Suns made a draft night deal to move up and grab Goodwin with the 29th overall pick, and now, he has a message to those who didn’t think he was worth drafting:

    “It would have been great to have been drafted where I thought I should have been,” Goodwin told SLAM during last week’s Panini photo shoot portion of the Rookie Transition Program. “Now every team that didn’t pick me, I’ve got to give them hell.”


    He’s already off to a good start after he turned a lot of heads in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, where he averaged 13.1 points per game and 3.3 rebounds per game.

    Fine with me. We technically didn't pass on him.

    The Suns technically passed on him. How awkward.

    He was held back at kentucky due to the pathetic PG play of Ryan Harrow.

    I think he will be good in a few years. He already looks better than Shabazz, Burke, McLemore and McCollum. He is the youngest of the group and has already passed his SL test. Unlike the others mentioned.

    Didn't Nerlens Noel already use this threat? I think only one guy per draft class should be allowed to use this cliche.

    In reality, the only person that ever lived up to that threat was Paul Pierce.

    That would be great, except 13 pts in SL isn't exactly what I'd call giving them hell. Even if he felt that way he should've kept it to himself until he had an awesome game.
