    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    Agree with Tyus. We should have many sets to get open shots for hot shooting hands and play better transition and scramble defense. Particularly KD, Book, Allen and Nurk are often mentally lazy to recognize the proper rotation to cover open shooters in transition or after loose balls.

    FWIW， the KD trade per pe was fine up to minor details, such as not doing the rumored trade of Crowder for Grayson Allen long before the KD deal with Nets, which would get Saric in his place. It's the ensuing offseason they messed up things. I heard Irvine wanted to join KD and Dallas wanted...

    On D, we dont play tight bodying-up harrassing defense others like Thunders, Magics etc even Spurs do on our stars, we can't seem to stop hot-hands even the likes of Tyres Martin. On O, we don't set screens solid to creat more or better space for ball handlers or hot-hand catch-n-shooting. We...

    Suns @ Pelicans Thursday game thread, December 5th, 2024

    Okogie is all hussle on both sides and quite smart to find open space on offense. Give Dunn's time to JO and Morris would improve team performance a bit, but I understand coach want's to give rookies experience early in season.

    Suns @ Pelicans Thursday game thread, December 5th, 2024

    Our defense could improve. The lineup with Oso, Booker, Beal/Allen, JO, Morris was excellent there, but they let Murphy and McC shoot 3s by not switching. And Allen and Booker tend to sack off the hot 3pt shooter too much. Also, Beal and Booker still have the same problem of vulnerabl to TOs...

    Magic @ Suns Monday game thread, November 18th, 2024

    Suns played above my expectation for the game. Oso, Okogie, Morris positively surprised me with their games. Plumlee was solid with his usual shortcoming. Royce had been bad for the last 5 games, no confidence in his shots. Allen and Tyus were too streaky, if either of them could shoot the 3s...

    RO commits a bonehead simple pass TO at least once a game. Weird.

    ‘Okogie is not dislodged from his defensive position as a result of illegal contact from Randle.’ The contact by Randle is deemed illegal. But Okogie was strong enough to hold his position. https://official.nba.com/last-two-minute-report/?gameNo=0022400234&eventNum=2174 From the clip it's...

    Suns @ Thunder Friday game thread, November 15th, 2024

    Booker doesn't have a good faking move an avg scorer has and his moves are so predictable. When not healthy enough, his shot is blocked a lot

    Only Okogie is capable of keeping the cool and just do his things. All others including Booker just nervous. At least they found their D after a while.

    Lakers @ Suns Thursday game thread, October 17th, 2024: Preseason

    Suns' defense has been bad, particularly on PnR. At the end, it's obvious that Knecht is in a shooting zone and his defender should be physical with him denying him getting the ball, yet Gillespie was the only guy doing so. Only he and Oso of that group belong to the NBA.

    That's the same cylinder Bronny got the call for from KD block.

    Our PnRs are not well played. TJ's got blocked by Davis as Nurk didn't roll.

    Okogie has that trait too, capable of recovering position quickly to surprise the ball handler.

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

    My assessment too. He was hold off by injury and chaotic coaching last year. But on court he was shooting over 40% on 3s and was at times the main effective penetrating force on the team.

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    agree. Vogel never solved the hard bodying-up harassment on KD and to a lesser extent on Booker, that disrupted our offense a lot and caused TOs. In the 4th, it's predictable that we'd go to ISOs for KD or Book, the adjustment opposing teams need to do was minimal. The adversary effects doubled...

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    Their only similarity was being scrappy at intercepting and disrupting on D. Okogie is a far better on-man defender. Goodwin didn't pan out because he was a worse PG than Saben Lee, and actually no better on D either. Suns wasted half season trying to work in Goodwin, Yuta and KBD, all failures...

    I view Zubac as about the same with Nurk. Together with other deals for C, their mkt value seems from 11-20mil a year. I'd like Nurk extend for about the same price next year. Indy overpaid for McConnel, for good reasons though. There will always be player like Tyus and Monte, and Trent etc...

    Beal is stronger than Book, so he is the designated SF in our starting lineup. Our best Zion defender last year was Okogie, who got almost no court time in the 2nd half of season. 1-on-1, nobody can beat Okogie off dribble consistently; off screens being a different story.

    None of the 5 is worth freeing a spot by waiving and stretching Little's 22mil. If they needed a 15th man bench filler, they'd better just stick to Liddle's min contract.

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    Playing 37 min a game and being asked to be the best defender all the time, that takes toll on anybody. Vogel lost the team against end of season, the sweep performance was an anormaly.

    Looking at 76ser' roster, Yabusele may be promised the starter position at PF, just like Tyus here.
