    Booker to undergo hand surgery

    It sometimes pays to go to court. If the officer doesn't show up, you usually get off... used to be that way, at least. Have to have a resonable explanation. If its a school zone violation you probably won't get off.

    Devin Booker Max Extension Confirmed

    I'll be happy if they can take care of the ball and play good defense, too - we haven't had a point guard in some time that could do both. Well, Bled could play good defense but he soon stopped doing it very frequently once he was starting. If Igor starts complaining about the PGs at his...

    Devin Booker Max Extension Confirmed

    We are well stocked at point guard. It's not like we are trotting out Bender or Chriss simply because we drafted them high. The same was true of Jackson until a few games at the end. Harrison and Canaan were both positive factors when they were on the floor last year and Harrison was a...

    Booker to undergo hand surgery

    'Lefty buckets coming soon' I'm not sure those are Books words but thats the right way to think of it. Plus the opportunity for Reed and others to practice their shooting in scrimages and games. Bridges, Jackson, Harrison, Melton, Okoko can all fill in at 2.

    2018-19 Season | Point Guard Discussion

    I'm almost certain that it was you who gave us game links to a number of Euroleague games. Those are the only Euro games I've watched in the last couple of years and my memory is that I saw Okobo in one of them. But you know your stuff when it comes to European Leagues and if you say he didn't...

    2018-19 Season | Point Guard Discussion

    I saw Okobo playing in the Euroleague tournament - the same one that Igor's team won. Granted it won only one game but he stood out in it for his solid play. As soon as I saw that he was in the draft, I hoped we'd pick him up if he still around in the second round. Some mocks had him going...

    2018-19 Season | Point Guard Discussion

    I'd rephrase your opening line: Shaq is at his best as a backup! He's got a good motor but I weriously doubt that he could play starters minutes and still keep up the defensive pressure. He's a lot like Bledsoe at his best, he disrupts the opponents offense and that burns a lot of energy. We...

    2018-19 Season | Point Guard Discussion

    The bigger question in my mind is why they let Jerian Grant go - he played 20 more games than Dunn, 25$ more minutes, had the same assist rate and turned the ball over half as much! They still have Cameron Payne, who had decent numbers.

    Wonder if Ryan McD knows he is going to be fired....

    Yup, the WC is going to be extra tough this year. Even us bottom feeders from last year - Lakers, Sac, Dallas, Memphis and us have significantly improved our rosters. Lakers added Lebron, of course. Kings added Bagley and Yogi Farell-not a big deal but Fox disappointed in his rookie year...

    Wonder if Ryan McD knows he is going to be fired....

    A bit of luck involved but McD has had a good recent run. I think Kokoskov is going to work out well so that should extend his run. Sarver may dump him at years end if we don't make the playoffs - it's Sarver being unrealistic but that won't surprise me. If, against all odds, Bender turns...

    2018/19 Opening Night Depth Chart

    I watched him sone in the Euroleague as well as SL. He's poised and has good range on his jumper, too. I can't say I recall flashy passes but he makes the right pass and doesn't turn the ball over much. His D is similar, not flashy but sound. As I've been saying all summer, if Igor is happy...

    Chriss and Knight traded

    As long as we have Ronin, why pay!

    Who will be the Suns WORST player?

    My recollection is that you said both Z's were better than Bender. Their stats are much better but neither of them ever gets significant playing time. What's the story on that?

    Who will be the Suns WORST player?

    The thing about Bender is that he has good moments. Now and then he'll string two or three of them together but it's very rare for him to have a good quarter. I don't think I've seen him have a solid game. That is extreme inconsistency.

    Who will be the Suns WORST player?

    Not surprisingly, we are of opposite views on the PGs. I'm so tickled to have two very good defenders at the position, regardless of their ages. Heck, if Canaan is back to normal, we have two very good defenders and one that's good. With Kokoskov running the show, I'm betting that our PG slot...

    2018-19 Season | Point Guard Discussion

    It takes a lot of energy to defend the way Harrison does on PGs and assuming the same for Melton you don't want either to be the starter. Recall that Bledsoe's D was quite average once her was playing starters minutes. Of course if the two of them split the time at PG equally, then they ought...

    Who will be the Suns WORST player?

    It changes mine because Brandon Knight got my vote. Also my second choice has disappeared and I don't think Troy Daniels makes the roster. That leaves Bender as proven weak spot - I hope Igor can breathe some life into him but I think it's a long shot. Edit: If this is a formal poll I can't...

    Chriss and Knight traded

    I'm not reading this trade as opening the way for an established PG - I take it to mean that Igor would rather go with the guys we have other than BK. You guys may well be reading it right...

    Expectations for Ayton's Rookie year

    I don't think the odds change much... I think we're better off without BK on the premisies but they may not think so. We're probably better off with Anderson tilling in the PF slot than with Chriss and they probably believe that. I'm hoping Holmes earns some time - energy and some D - at PF...

    Chriss and Knight traded

    I think I understand the trade. First Knight and Chriss were two of Ryan's mistakes and its easier to forget them if they're not around. They are not fan favorites either so there won't be a hue and cry about their departure. It is certainly possible that Igor was glad not to have to try to...

    Who will be the Suns WORST player?

    I'm going with the tried and true - Brandon Knight!

    Do Ayton's comments concern you?

    2018/19 Opening Night Depth Chart

    Tow years ago TJ got his 3pt % up to .400, on the highest rate he'd ever shot them - 2.4/game. I wonder what happened because this last year was his worst ever at 22.2%. He was starting to look somewhat comfortable even, then wham, he reverted.

    What is the ONE thing you're excited most about this coming season?

    Thw rhought of seeing the Suns defending well is what I'm most looking forward to seeing. Granted Aroza os the only probable starter who is much of a defender, though Bridges may get the nod at SF -but the second unit will have several.

    Believe it or not, defense works with SSOL, too!
