I'd think Boo Buie has a chance at securing a two-way contract, but the Suns already have Collin Gillespie.

And the foul.

Impressions from the game:
- Dunn has the tools for defense, is already excellent one-on-one defender and shot blocker, but he has shortcomings in 2 areas: 1. rebounding instinct and strength, 2. rotating to cover 3pts. On offense, he is beyond raw still. Don't see him getting much time in the regular rotation this season yet.
- Oso is much more advanced in his advertized skills. Needs more strength and experience. He could have impact like Warriors' TJD last season.
- Roddy has a good 3pt stroke, but very shaky handle. His on-man defense is good but help and rotation not so good. Fortunately on the Suns, we don't need to handle the ball at all. Right now, he is better than Wainright, but def. only the 14th man only ahead of Damion.
- Bridges and Biiu have very good 3pt strokes, but average on D. Biiu's PG skill isn't good either. Samuals is below the level of Azubuike and our last year SL center Jemison.
- I like Davoe and Wong who are the best guards on this team, both have good handles and good at driving to basket. If not for having already too many SGs on our regular roster, they'd be keepers for 2-ways IMO.
- OKC shot lights out on 3s. Wish we had their PG who is better than any of our guards.

The Suns have two summer league games remaining, both on NBA TV.

Ryan Dunn took off well before the free throw line on this dunk.

Uh. Looked like the bottom of the FT circle to me, but it was a nice dunk. Sorry to nitpick. Thanks for posting the clip.

If one stops action, Dunn actually took off before the top of the circle, which is amazing.

wrong circle. That's the restricted arc not the ft circle. The camera angle makes it look longer than it is. It was a pretty typical dunk.

The camera angle made the dunk look much longer as the restricted arc looked like the top of the key.

This could be the same dunk from a different angle.

The summer Suns are presently leading the Bucks in the 4th quarter today, 95-72.

Wong playing really well. I like how active he is.

Maybe he gets an invitation to training camp.

These announcers are horrible. I had to mute them.

My concern is, can Oso back up Nurkic or Plumlee if one is injured? At least the Suns have two similar centers in the rotation now.

He is very similar to Plumee now. They have three really similar guys.

I'm not ready to go there yet, but I would be happy if Oso reached this level of play or higher.

The Suns play the Kings today at Noon if my time calculations are correct on NBA TV.

It's likely their final summer league game.
