Illinois wing Luke Goode enters the transfer portal as player to watch for Indiana basketball

Indiana basketball is looking for shooters to round out its roster and one name that could be someone to keep an eye on is Illinois transfer wing Luke Goode.

Goode entered the transfer portal on Monday morning and already received a prediction for Indiana from On3.com national analyst Jamie Shaw.

Goode played three years at Illinois and averaged 4.1 points and shot 38.8 percent from three for his career.

The 6-foot-7 shooter had his most successful season last year as a junior, averaging 5.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and shooting 38.9 percent from three in 20.1 minutes per game. He made 1.6 3s a game and 61 for the season. Goode led Illinois this past year in three-point percentage and was second in made 3s.

87.7 percent of his shot attempts this season came from three. He only attempted 22 twos.

Goode had 29 games with at least one made three and 17 games with at least two 3s.

His 61 made 3s ranked 15th in the Big Ten this season.

Notable games this season for Goode were 16 points and four 3s at Purdue, 13 points and four 3s in 19 minutes against Marquette, 12 points and four made 3s in 15 minutes against Nebraska. He had 11 points and three 3s against Indiana basketball.

As a sophomore, Goode missed most of the year with a broken foot, playing in only 10 games. He averaged 4.0 points and was 8-of-19 on 3s.

“I’m realistic. I’m not going to go out there and score 23 a game like Terrence and I’m not going to go out there and have triple-doubles like Marcus,” Goode said earlier this year. “I know that I need to be the best basketball player in my role. If Coach needs me to go from a four to a two and guard guards, offensive rebound and get Marcus open, that’s what I’m going to do. If Coach needs me to shoot nine threes against Nebraska because we need an offensive weapon, that’s what I’m going to do. I don’t really think of it necessarily in a selfish way like, ‘I didn’t get a shot, I need to go down and get a shot.’ It’s more like, ‘I didn’t get a shot. Let me go get one of my teammates open and if they need help I’ll go get my shot.’”

Goode has numerous connections to Indiana. His brother currently goes to Indiana. His uncle is Trent Green, former Indiana football quarterback and his dad, Graig, played football at Indiana.

Goode played for Homestead (Ind.) in high school and finished his high school career as the winningest player in program history while being ranked No. 2 on the school’s career scoring list (1,480 points) and No. 1 in made 3-pointers (232).

He averaged 19.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and shot 40.4 percent from three as a senior.

Goode has one year of eligibility remaining.
