the Sooners’ defensive spark plug with grown-man poise
In the 2021-22 season, Jordan Goldwire gave Oklahoma a steady two-way presence, averaging 10.4 points, 3.6 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 steals while starting all 35 games. His calling card was disruption: quick hands, point-of-attack toughness, and a high-IQ assist-to-turnover profile that made him more than just a stat line. If your team wants an older guard who competes like every possession is personal and can stabilize a backcourt, Goldwire fits nicely; the one caveat is that he was more crafty and reliable than explosive, so elite shot creation wasn’t the whole package.
