    Mavericks vs Suns SL Game Thread 7/6/18

    Harrison is the one that threw that nice lob to Ayton on the break and he had 9 assists with 2 TOs, and he was 5 of 7 from the field. His defense was first rate, too. I think you might have been looking for flaws. There were a lot of positives to take away from that game, but, for me, the...

    Kokoskov: Brandon Knight is the starting PG for the Suns

    It's summer league, the time of year when coaches experiment. Harrison and Okobo are going get opportunities to show their stuff, too. I can't imagine Igor sticking with Brandon Knight through thick and thin if either of them is clearly a better option. If none of them pass muster, I'd expect...

    Suns Podcast

    Yep, pretty good stuff. One of them had predicted that we'd do a big one year contract for a stretch four and mentioned Ariza as a possibility. They also concluded that we'd waive Big Sauce - the podcast was made just before we did it. Of course they rapped McD for botching the Ulis waiving...

    Summer League 2018

    Yes it is encouraging about Bender. If all the other guys keep on his case, he might add some aggression to his game. two more days and we get our first look at our new team and coach... at least it is if I get the SL games on my cable - directTV.

    Booker Upset with Front Office?

    It's not about the money for Ulis, it's that he takes up a roster spot. House, Len, and Payton are also gone from last year. Ayton, Bridges and Olobo take their spots. Definitely on the roster: Ayton, Booker, Bridges, Jackson, Bender, Chriss. Ariza, Knight, Okobo, Chandler, Dudley, and Warren...

    Trevor Ariza

    I'm taking this as a sign that McD and Igor are willing to go into next year with Okobo and Harrison manning PG. I'm tickled about it. More emphasis on D and right where we need it most - next to Booker. Sure, it's a gamble but there plenty of upside if either or both look like they'll grow...

    Ulis Waived

    Knight is not a better PG than Ulis which was well established year before last. If Knight has seen the light he may be somewhat better but that remains to be seen - I'd bet against it. Harrison is the only one of three who can defend, and we are desperately in need of defense in the...

    Big Suns Trade?

    I've never experienced that kind of recall, without something triggering it - like going back to the place it happened.

    Summer League 2018

    I love it. Igor will get a good look at Okobo, which could prevent us from having to bring in another PG, saving a roster spot. I'm pulling for Harrison to play his best as I really want him to be our backup PG - a key spot for a strong defender and he's 6'4, too! Don't care much about...

    Big Suns Trade?

    Forgetting stuff is commonplace and restaurants are normal. I eat out regularly with my daughter, who not only remembers where we've eaten but remembers what I ordered and whether I liked it or not, Better than an eating guide! Interesting experience with another couple, back when I was...

    Big Suns Trade?

    Thanks for anwering, Sir. I recall seeing Okobo playing in a game and the only ones from Europe were the ones posted of Doncic playing for the national team, which Igor coached. That said I have remembered things that never happened before.

    Big Suns Trade?

    I first heard of Okobo when he played against Igor's national team last summer. Probably played against him again more recently though I didn't observe such a game... SirStefan can probably answer that...

    Big Suns Trade?

    Yup. Igor also knows Okobo quite well, having coached against him. It's highly improbable that after having drafted the latter that he'd prefer Exum over him as a floor general. Whatever transpires, as far as these two are concerned, it ought to be an informed dexcision. I won't be greatly...

    Free Agency 2018

    I've never been a fan of RPM. I use DRPM because it's difficult to get defensive stats - for bigs I used to use defense at the rim via tracking data but I can't find the same base data I used before. In making my suggestions I used DRPM along with cumulative box score stats plus a bit of...

    Free Agency 2018

    Yes, Lonzo is third in DRPM but guess who is second - Tyus Jones. And Jones is positive in ORPM, while Lonzo is significantly negative. In RPM, which is ORPM and DRPM added together the first six guys are just about who you'd guess: Paul, Hardin, Curry, Lowry, Westbrook, Lilliard. Then comes...

    Current (post draft) Roster

    {speaking of Teodosic} He only played 45 games this year which sounds like he was out injured. There are a number of good young PG, which we could pursue. TJMcConnell would be fine - he has a good ast/TO ratio and shoots well, but he's selective - as opposed to being high volume. Defends...

    Current (post draft) Roster

    No doubt we'll see that line up but hopefully not a lot of it as it has tremendous potential for turnovers and few assists. As far as the Bulls are concerned, they had facilatators like Steve Kerr, Ron Harper and Randi Brown (and others whose names I don't recall) consistently getting minutes -...
