Not sure we need to play Allen when Beal is healthy because he's not better than Dunn or O'Neale. Only spot minutes to see if he's hot.

Could start by telling me what he does well? Not trying to be negative the draft was pure gold for Suns overall but Oso brings nothing to this team
Check out some highlights of preseason to see what Oso can do. Also you have to remember big men often take longer to adjust to the league. Can't write him off after one week of his career.

That's fair too but I think we would also all agree had Beal been healthy we definitely would have notched more wins. I mean this season when he has been there the team looks different. So much so, Grayson might be expendable by the trade deadline. Speaking of Grayson, it just seems like he is having a hard time fitting in this new system so far.
Agree with all of this -- especially about this year, having Tyus Jones is a major difference. Book's 40 last night looked easy, and a big reason for that is because he didn't have to be Point Book.

Yep. He is playing the most physically demanding position in the league. Things he does well or is good at is touch around the basket, passing and he is a good athlete. I think once things slow down for him and he gets a bit stronger he will be at least a good rotational player for us.
