Suns @ Lakers Sunday game thread, October 6th 2024: Preseason

It's interesting, Dunn is all defense, and Oso is all offense.

I think Dunn has the better chance of developing the other side of his game.

Oso was a very good defender in college and he has all the physical tools to be a solid one in the pros.

What Oso lacks is scoring range and rebounding.

Don't sell out on Oso. Big guys develop slower. However, he's already not too far off from developing the strength he needs at his position. Looked decent when AD tried to bully him. I can imagine when he gains some strength. Already he's our best lob option, and his passing is already top notch. He had the second most assists last night.

Dunn has the skills we seek at the wing. He just has to keep hitting those threes. He has the defense. Just needs more strength, too. He fell for ball fakes last night more than he did in college. That said, he still looked good on the defensive end.

Just caught up, nothing to add other than Oso was a pleasant surprise. I can definitely see him as a modern day Diaw if he develops some. Only difference really is rather than not shooting when open he can't shoot. Diaw would drive me nuts with how he'd wait so long looking for another pass.

Rookies looked much better than what I expected!

I feel bad for Bronny. Dude is the epitome of the guy who needed 3-4 years of development and maturity in college. Instead, is fast tracked by his dad to fulfill his own personal dream. Completely unfair to the kid who got some pretty crappy advice. He’s not good and wont ever be good, and its not his fault

Bronny is a good basketball player, but perhaps not good enough for the NBA.

Well, he might be ok as a one on one defender, but as a center what he is lacking is rim protection - and yes rebounding.

Remember it's the preseason, not really a great way to gauge them.
