Preseason: Trail Blazers @ Suns Monday game thread, 10-16-2023

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 99 - Trail Blazers 79

 

[Phrazbit]

Did Leander just call Kevin Knox a great shooter?

 

[BirdGangThing]

99 pts in the 3rd quarter

Trio hasn't played since the 2nd quarter

 

[Mainstreet]

If Saban Lee can improve his shooting, he is a legitimate NBA level player.

 

[Mainstreet]

Metu is turning the ball over too much.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Bol Bol FTW lol

 

[Mainstreet]

Bol Bol flashes to the rim.

 

[Mainstreet]

Keon Johnson is pressing. Unlikely to make the Suns roster, but he could develop down the road.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Grayson Allen is good.

Yup. I’m enjoying his game.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I’m a happy Cheese. This team has sooo many shot creators.

I honestly can’t recall anytime the suns had this many players capable of creating their own shot.

 

[Hoop Head]

I so wish the Suns could add a big man like Duop Reath at center.

This is the first season in forever I am happy with the Suns point guard depth.

Suns have 1 PG and you're happy with that. That's funny.


I get what you mean though, there's plenty of guys who can play PG.

The Suns have plenty of playmakers. That's the bottom line.

that isn’t going to happen, his shooting form is awful, and if he was going to change it, he would have done it by now.

Saban misses some close-in shots when he penetrates. That can be improved.

 

[Mainstreet]

Keon Johnson flashes his ability.

He’s a walking turnover with his stupid sloppy passing! So out of control when he drives rarely good things happen. I think he’s one of the cuts he’ll be lucky if he hangs on to a 2 way spot!

 

[Proximo]

Metu is turning the ball over too much.

His defense has not been good either.

He seems like a guy that flashes but makes a bunch of simple mistakes.

Who would you rather have on your roster, Saban Lee or Elfrid Payton? And Payton is on a standard contract.

 

[nashman]

Bol is useless as well…

 

[Proximo]

Keon Johnson flashes his ability.

Yeah, I am beginning to think maybe we should keep him over Bok.

 

[Proximo]

Neither they both suck.

Not for this team we don’t need him Gordon, Goodwin, Allen can all back up PG no use for Saban at all…

 

[Folster]

Azubuike looking more fluid tonight. Bol should be cut.

 

[Hoop Head]

that isn’t going to happen, his shooting form is awful, and if he was going to change it, he would have done it by now.

He's a Two-Way player still. He's probably more NBA ready than a good portion of other Two-Way guys around the league. It'd be nice if he developed a more consistent shot but saying he can't doesn't jive with reality. Look at Okogie, he's come a long way with his shooting over the last year and we all hope he continues to improve. It won't ever be an overnight thing and we can afford some patience given his contract status.

So who are you replacing Saban Lee with on a two-way contract?
