Chevez Brandford Goodwin (born February 27, 1998) is an American professional basketball player for the New Taipei CTBC DEA of the Taiwan Professional Basketball League (TPBL). He previously played college basketball with the USC Trojans of the Pac-12 Conference, as well as for the College of Charleston Cougars and the Wofford Terriers.
Goodwin began his high school career at A. C. Flora High School in Columbia, South Carolina. For his sophomore season, he transferred to Hammond School in Columbia. As a junior, Goodwin helped lead his team to the SCISA 3A state championship. In his senior season, he averaged 18.9 points, 12.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks, and shared The State Midlands Player of the Year honors with his teammate Seventh Woods.[1]
As a freshman at the College of Charleston, Goodwin averaged 2.3 points and 2.9 rebounds per game off the bench.[2] For his sophomore season, he transferred to Wofford, and averaged 4.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game after sitting out for a year as a redshirt due to transfer rules.[3] He helped get the Terriers to the NCAA tournament and win the first NCAA tournament game in school history over Seton Hall. On February 5, 2020, Goodwin scored a career-high 27 points in a 79–73 win against VMI.[4] In his junior season, he averaged 11.9 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. Goodwin then moved to USC as a graduate transfer, choosing the Trojans over offers from Arkansas, Georgia, Houston and Xavier.[5] As a senior, he averaged 5.6 points and 3.5 rebounds per game off the bench. Goodwin returned to USC for his additional year of eligibility, granted by the NCAA due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] In his last year at USC he started every game averaging 11 points and 6.4 rebounds while helping lead the Trojans back to the NCAA tournament for a second year in a row.
On August 3, 2022, Goodwin signed his first professional contract overseas with Greek club Aris Thessaloniki. In 22 domestic league matches, he averaged 12.1 points and 7.8 rebounds, playing around 23 minutes per contest.
