If only the Suns could find the Grayson Allen from last season.

He has played poorly this season.
if only the suns could find the minutes to get him in rhythm - we got Deeper with a capital D - if oneale and dunn can consistently hit the 3 it kinda makes greyson obsolete - i hate to say it but we're talking some serious defense

he isn't playing pg with tyus and morris - definitely not getting into the big 3s minutes - we're just too damn deep for last season's best 3 point shooter

that's crazy

I used to volunteer to hand out candy at my house. Come game time, lights go out, candy all handed out, sign on door, sorry out of candy! ;)

Not me. I had about 20 8th graders at my house who got too tired trick or treating that they just hung out waiting for their parents

A fun interview with KD with Dunn listening.

Hopefully Grayson made a strong enough impression on other teams because he's our best trade chip. If Dunn and O'Neale can keep up their level of play then there's no minutes available for Grayson. Once Beal returns there will be fewer minutes to go around as well.


We need a strong rebounding PF who can slide over play C also. We don't have that and if Grayson can bring one in then the Suns need to weigh their options.

The Suns outscored the Clippers 25-19 off turnovers. It sounds like the Suns last season.

I almost stopped watching at the half. Glad I did not. They just need to figure out how to not fall behind early. Second half was amazing. Dunn continued to impress. I'd caution everyone wanting to trade Allen. Dunn is a rookie, and he will hit that rookie wall at some point. Royce has been amazing, but he has never been consistent offensively. Grayson will find his rhythm and he will be needed- there is no way that Dunn and Royce will be this consistent all season long. I am a little worried about the Center situation. I don't think there is an athletic center out there they can get, but I would really sign Frank Kaminsky. His defense is not worse than Nurkic but he can hit a three point shot at a decent percentage.
