    Suns draft Ryan Dunn at #28

    Little bit of trivia. Anyone know what player had the best defensive rating ever for a rookie?

    Suns sign guard Collin Gillespie to a two-way contract

    Interesting. Excellent passer. Excellent shooter (90% ft as well), incredible rebounder for a guard, plays with lots of confidence/ However he is also a tough player. Plays through contact. Contact does not seem to bother him, in fact he seems to seek it out. Something may have clicked...

    Suns sign guard Collin Gillespie to a two-way contract

    How does a 6-1 player average 8.9 rebounds at any level? He must be a master at picking up the garbage.

    Suns draft Ryan Dunn at #28

    Sports Illustrated calls his defensive ability "ridiculous" https://www.si.com/nba/draft/newsfeed/2024-nba-draft-ryan-dunn-potential-as-a-generational-defender I am convinced that he needs to start. Yes. Not Royce or Grayson. The energy and motor he will bring to the starting lineup will...

    Suns draft Ryan Dunn at #28

    It was the universal evaluation before the draft. He is not just the best defender in this draft, he might be the best defender to come out in a few years.

    Suns draft Oso Ighodaro at #40

    I love many things about him, but that three-point release is at his chin. He will have difficulty getting that off without getting blocked by the long-armed players in this league. They will be able to close a gap on him easily. I would make him shoot threes with Nurk or Bol just standing...

    Suns draft Ryan Dunn at #28

    A lot of players improved. I think of Dan Majerle and others that did that.

    Maybe DLee thought he would get more interest than he did. He gave it a shot. We don't need Lowry at this point.

    I think we should hold tight right now and get a look at this team. Leave some room for a move, signing etc, after we get a clear picture. At least wait until after the summer league.

    If he is unhappy, he can waive his no trade clause. The point is to compete. There is no point in keeping players happy at that expense.

    Monte Morris signs with the Suns

    I think I would agree with this. But if he comes off the bench, the role for Grayson is greatly diminished.

    I don’t a deal with Houston for KD can be done without FVV. Can’t match salaries without him.

    Monte Morris signs with the Suns

    He was really good with Denver. So what happened? Injury?

    Not sure why he doesnt list the 2w players on the depth chart.

    Suns draft Oso Ighodaro at #40

    That's funny. Although he was a 6-3 pg in high school before he hit his growth spurt.

    Ok. I think that is it. Monte Morris was probably down the list of options, but they got someone.

    It would be interesting to know which. It seems to be a smart thing to manipulate your way to the situation where you actually have a chance to succeed rather than be buried on a team that just had to burn a second rounder and will sit you in the bench.

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    Of course. I agree that Bol has more of a chance of raising his game. The problem is that Beal will not and cannot and yet he will be the vet taking up the starters minutes, so there will be no getting around him. Unless this gm gets a staring quality pg and the coach has the guts to bring...

    Suns sign guard Collin Gillespie to a two-way contract

    I wonder if having some hungry aggressive young players on the team will get Booker and KD’s juices going. If I was the head coach I sit these young guys down and tell them that their job is to do everything they can to push the big 3 in practice. Man I wish we could trade Beal for a decent...

    2024 NBA Draft talk: Suns own pick 22

    Vogel was a disaster. I could see that early on. They should have fired him mid season. I am hoping Bud will be better. At least Bud has proven himself to be a good coach in at least two previous stops.

    2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

    He is 4 years older. Teams often get sucked into the trap of believing they are getting some version of the guy he used to be.

    Ain’t going to happen. Beal is not going to play like a superstar.

    Suns sign guard Collin Gillespie to a two-way contract

    Well. He is a true point guard, and he is on the roster. That is better than no one; which where the Suns have been. In his defense, he is clearly a smart player, plays with supreme confidence in himself, he is not overly fast but just keeps moving until he gets his shot, master of little...

    It gave him freedom to choose his team. Suns must have promised him a roster spot.
