Is that a full upper deck of a pre-season game?????

He looks just like high flying Eddie Johnson and Jalen Rose in that #8 jersey.

Nice. That made me laugh. I was expecting another "praise Straw" article or something.

Now I'm going to pay attention to him every time he goes to the hoop in a game.

not just cause the pics obviously, but from watching him at maryland, to seeing him in person vs the hornets, DJ Strawberry is my favorite sun. how would i go about getting his jersey, custom?

 

[Goldfield]

These rookie's may turnout to be busts. But it sure is refreshing to have some young defenders with potential on the bench.

 

[azirish]

DJ may not play much, but I am not worried about him being a bust. From all indications he's already a very very good defender with the potential of become one of the elite defenders in the league.

That kind of guy is almost certain to have a career. Whether he becomes more than a defensive specialist is uncertain, but great defenders don't "go cold".

DJ >>>> Tucker.

Steal of the draft.. Just wait and see.

 

[Rbutters91]

Strawberry is a great addition.

 

[Austin Zonie]

Is Tucker just not doing anything? I've heard next to nothing about him.

Is Tucker just not doing anything? I've heard next to nothing about him.

He did pretty well in the second half (couldn't hit a thing in the first half) and grabbed 6 rebounds in 17 minutes.

 

[Mainstreet]

I think Strawberry and Tucker are two two very nice additions. IMO it would be to the Suns advantage if Strawberry develops first (because he can play some PG) but I can see Tucker developing rapidly as well if he gets playing time. Both players seem to show some nice composure for rookies.

 

[azirish]

Just got the stats. DJ went 6 of 9 from the field including 2 of 4 for three, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

 

[Suns_fan69]

That's including the game winning 3! It's clear that Strawberry is showing the most promising of the 2 rookies we drafted, despite being the second to last pick in the draft.

A picture of the Sun's bench after the last shot that won the game shows how the team feels about him.

I was very impressed with Tucker's ability to score down low. Grranted, he was playing against 2nd team talent - but we haven't had a mid-range player with that skill set in the last few years... since Coach D hates that style of play. Unless Tucker learns to hit threes, he is not going to sniff the court.

The three pointer by DJ at the end was great. I also like how Banks got him the shot.
