I'm still rooting for Frank Kaminsky to make the team, but I'm torn between two players, Kaminsky and Collin Gillespie.
The Suns can keep Gillespie for now because he is on a two-way contract, but I'm thinking long term.

This is what Mike Budenholzer said about Frank.


By Duane Rankin, Arizona Republic:

"There's a player like Frank who you can maybe win games and help us in a lot of different ways," Budenholzer said after Saturday's practice. "He's a veteran, smart, a lot of things we want to be about. Having Frank in camp has been great and those will be the hard decisions with (Suns CEO Josh Bartelstein and general manager James Jones) and the front office. We've got to sit down and put everything together and make good, hard decisions."

I know he's brought the ball up a few times already in the preseason. One I remember he went length of the floor and got fouled on the layup attempt. I know a couple on the board mention Borris Diaw. He don's have the back down game of Dias, but he has the handles and the passing.

If he is your designated defender on the other team's star, how do you keep him out of the starting line up? I am not saying he will be a starter, or even that he should be, but usually the player that fills this role starts.

One, it's Beal so what he says is probably hyperbole, and two, it is accurate if you have the caveat, "when he is on the floor."

Nothing says Dunn has to start to defend the oppositions best player. What matters is he's able to do it in the 4th and earn that time out there with whoever else has earned those closing minutes.

Big Suns news at 10 AM tomorrow. After watching two games today, I'm too tired to figure it out.

Maybe Diana Taurasi announces her retirement?

That's the PHNX Suns podcast. No actual team news is dropping there. Likely a guest announcement.

Maybe Saul is coming back or they are announcing a new member of the team. Being on television would be interesting.
