Yes they are looking good. Strawberry drived hard to the basket and got a "and 1." Lots of fast breaks for Tucker as well.

The rookies are showing up Sean "Secret Weapon" Marks.


So glad we resigned him.

 

[dodie53]

they need to go all-out so DA can see what they can do and have trust in them.

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

Bench is keeping the lead relatively the same, not too shabby

 

[az1965]

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

Yeah all the Sac tv highlights were suns plays haha. You can tell they wouldnt mind a transfer to PHX


GO SUNS

I thought the rookies weren't that great.

Tucker can score but looks small and got abused rebounding.

Strawberry can play defense but can't score.

Neither guy will see any minutes of note this year. Tucker and Strawberry were -12. The only reason the lead was held is because it was so high.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

What's funny is that by shooting 25% from the field, Strawberry's FG% will go up.

Not happening. They were marginal at best.

 

[mribnik]

Not happening. They were marginal at best.

I wouldn't expect them to be much more than that. Have they played more than 20 minutes the entire year yet? They are also playing with the second tier. They'd all look better mixed in with the starters but I don't see that happening.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Interesting Pike didn't play at all. That experiment is definitely done.

Strawberry can play defense but can't score.

Thats not a bad thing. His offensive game can be coached & brought along. His toughness & defensive tenacity are big positives that are hard to find in young players & difficult to teach IMO.

You can't have a guy shooting 22% for the season on the court regardless of how good his defense is. He won't last 1 season on the Suns unless he gets that up into the 40s.

Some of the best offense possible for the 1st 3 qtrs. The defense wasn't great, but good enough to get a 30 pt lead tonight. The rookies got some time, but Sacramento still had Salmons & Garcia out there almost all of the 4th qtr so the rookies struggled a little guarding those 2 guys. Neither rookie has a good looking jumper, but they can play some defense & attack the basket. Marks looked pretty poor all around tonight except for his 1 dunk.
