Bronny finally had a "good" game, in a near 50 point loss last night.
Sounds like a coaching problem with Mikal. He doesn't seem the type to have an ego or inner circle pushing and pulling him like a Kawhi Leonard type so I'd be hesitant to blame him for the change on his own rather than someone tried to fix what wasn't broken. Maybe it was someone with the Nets or the Knicks but I'd lean more towards Nets since they're a bad team who wanted him to be THE MAN rather than a complimentary player so who knows. Coaching it out of him should be possible since he's a smart player who has been an malleable player all his career in the spotlight, including college.
Mikal averaged 30ppg over 18 games for Brooklyn during that post-trade run two years ago on high efficiency. It was a fluke but I saw it with my own eyes. He was scoring from everywhere on the court and it’s not like they didn’t start to guard him differently after the 18th game.
Killian Hayes was released. Never really got it together but he has some height for a guard.
Hey @Phrazbit please give us your take on whether the Suns should bring in Killian Hayes....
Everyone else can thank me later.

Don't know anything about this guy. Just saw his pedigree at North Carolina. "He holds the program records for double-doubles and career rebounds." On the Tar Heels, this has some weight. We need rebounding. Could be interesting to kick the tires on this one?
Lonnie Walker is available. He could help a contender. I wonder if the Suns have any interest.

The two way is great EXCEPT, I believe two way players are not available in the playoffs. So if we do find Gillespie a must have, we have to give him a full contract. Also, they can only play in half the regular season games. Makes you wonder if we grabbed him for availability next season when both the Morris and Jones contracts are expired?I still cannot understand why Lonnie Walker is not on an NBA roster. He could help many teams, even a contender.
I've always been about BPA.
If the Suns were interested, a player could be waived later on to add a big man.
I have similar feelings about Collin Gillespie, but at least the Suns have him on a two-way contract.
Why Lonnie Walker’s stay in Boston could be a short one
Salary complications might be the only reason why Lonnie Walker doesn’t end up with the Celticswww.celticsblog.com
I think BPA is usually the right approach when drafting but not for rounding out a roster. Fit becomes even more important than actual talent when you're talking about the end of bench players. Nothing wrecks a team faster than locker room problems and nothing creates more locker room problems than disgruntled players. To be clear, I'm not saying this about Lonnie Walker specifically as I have no idea what kind of a fit he'd be in Phoenix. Nor am I suggesting that talent doesn't matter for those final spots, it just shouldn't be the only consideration.I still cannot understand why Lonnie Walker is not on an NBA roster.

Eurohoops makes a stat comparison of Lebron James and Luka Doncic during their first six years in the NBA.
