    Suns Training Camp, October 1st through 4th, 2024

    Adding 35 pounds in 4 or 5 months is crazy. Hope it doesn't affect his shot too much.

    Weird move for the Wolves. I get that it's tax/apron related, but the team just went to the Western finals, and Edwards is still on the way up. Minnesota fans must be frustrated.

    That's Anthony Bennett erasure! *edit - That was technically 11 years ago, so.... nothing to see here!

    It's listed in the article Some of those teams were just straight up terrible (i looked up and added team records above). No other team was even sniffing 500, let alone having a winning record. Suns were an anomaly in that sense.

    That hesitation dribble blow by on Naz Reid was pretty juicy. To be fair though, it's setup by his ability (at least in this context) to make outside shots, everyone was playing up on him. If he can be a threat from the corners that should set him up for attacking closeouts in hopefully...

    KD was KD, but Dunn looked a lot better than I was expecting offensively. Some pull up 3s, fadeaway 2s, good dribble drives... all shot with confidence. Lots of caveats obviously (1 on 1 isn't team basketball, let's see him do it in a real game, yadda yadda yadda), but still promising nonetheless.

    I'd add Draymond Green's illegal screens; less obvious as the others but just as impactful.

    Yeah, ignoring roles, they had a starting lineup of: 6' 4" 6' 5" 6' 7" 6' 11" 7' 1" That's a pretty conventional lineup on defense, if not on the bigger side. Compared to Phoenix who would be rolling out: 6' 1" 6' 4" 6' 6" 6' 11" 7' 0"

    I mean the real test is to see him do it in game when it matters, but his release looks quicker than last year and his arc looks higher.

    Steph was so ridiculous that France was doubling off Kevin freaking Durant.

    That last 3 by Steph was ridiculous. What a sensational shooter.

    Unless, of course, you're the Golden State Warriors and have 2 of the top 15ish players of all time.

    I wonder how much of it was Vogel. He seemed totally resistant to Isaiah even being on the team. Now with Bud all of a sudden we have a plethora of PGs.

    Don't forget trading the draft picks that could have been Andre Igoudala & Rajon Rondo

    Suns to Sign Point Guard Ty Ty Washington on a Two-way Contract

    Hard to get riled up for a two-way, but, do we really need another PG? The team skews small currently, would have preferred a bigger wing or true big for the remaining 2-ways.

    It's too bad, injuries derailed the latter half of his career. Early Gordon Hayward was a great jack-of-all-trades.

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    I haven't watched them enough, wonder who is the stronger defender. That might be the separator.

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    I think it has to. There's just much better balance with Beal on the bench with one of the PGs starting. Allen probably takes the biggest hits to his minutes with this signing. My guess with starting unit and then Bench in order of minutes: Jones Booker O'Neale KD Nurk Beal Allen Morris...

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    Is it a given that Jones will be starting? The head to head stats against morris is pretty close: https://stathead.com/basketball/versus-finder.cgi?player_id2=jonesty01&player_id1=morrimo01&request=1&utm_id=morrimo01

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    Suns went from zero capable PGs to 2 guys who are routinely north of 3-1 Asst to TO. That's a huge win. Kudos to James Jones on this one.
