Eric Bledsoe out with torn meniscus

[95pro]

Booker needs to spend some time in the weight room, he gets muscled off the ball quite often. But other than that and learning a few of the NBA tricks he seems remarkably ready to play in this league. And with him and Warren on the court at the same time at least we'll have some off-the-ball movement.

Seems like he forgets how quick the game is sometimes. He just made rookie mistakes by not protecting the ball and being aware of who's around. He took a bump from Lebron and still put it up with a nice touch. The strength will come as his body grows/ages. He still needs to fill out.

Not just start, but give them all 30 minutes per game, and let them run the show. Warren honestly may be the best scorer on this roster anyway, and I wouldn't mind giving Len the ball in the low post a couple of times every quarter. They should run a few plays for Booker as well. It shouldn't be that difficult to run him some screens for a few open shots. Don't just play thge youngsters- feature them on the offensive end!

+1 to that. Look, I know Len isn't an offensive stud, but the dude's almost 7-2 and moves pretty well. He should be getting more opportunities. He attempted 5 shots last game and 2 were on tip-ins. Another example - In the Philly game (Yes, he had a bone-headed missed dunk early, but still ... ) he had ONE post-up opportunity against Noel and made a hook shot ... No more post-up opportunities after that despite him being what, 40+ pounds bigger than Noel? (Edit: Actually do remember one in the 2nd half, where Noel stripped him, but that's just 1) Len had a stretch when Chandler was out that he was consistently involved in the offense, drawing fouls, etc. ... Why did that not continue ? (Not saying Len is blameless)

The Suns have the 4th worst record in the league and they just lost their best player.

Somebody needs a reality check.

This. Still holding out for playoffs to try and ruin what should be a good draft pick to desperately make the playoffs at a rate time when the West is just historically bad is beyond absurd.

Not only more shots, but I also want to see him make some decisions. In limited time, I've seen some good passing from him. I see a little bit of a very young (pre-NBA) Vlade Divac in Len. He seems to understands how to pass from the low post, and has a decent count vision. He lacks experience, but I think he has a really good understanding of some very important things. I say give him the ball and let him pass, shoot, etc. Playoff dreams are gone, so you might as well let the youngsters run the show and gain some experience.
