Suns @ Nuggets Sunday game thread, October 13th, 2024: Preseason

[Yuma]

Royce a turn over machine this quarter.

 

[Yuma]

00 needs a break.....

 

[Mainstreet]

You can give him minutes during the regular season. It's a LONG season. I think we have played our starters way too many minutes. We have some back up depth now. We need to bring the big threes minutes down.

I understand you liking Oso. I do as well.

However, I think the Suns need more than Plumlee and a rookie behind Nurkic.

 

[Mainstreet]

Gillespie is a high IQ basketball player.

 

[Yuma]

Ryan Dunn in the Joker's chest!!

 

[Mainstreet]

Ryan Dunn goes right at Jokic for two.

How many teams have a third center that is really good? I'm not saying Oso is that good right now, but he's as good as some other teams third centers.

 

[Proximo]

Did I mention I really like Dunn.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dunn goes BOOM.

 

[Yuma]

Plus we have KD and Bol Bol on the roster.

 

[Mainstreet]

How many teams have a third center that is really good. I'm not saying Oso is that good right now, but he's as good as some other teams third centers.

I'm not even sure Plumlee is ready for the backup role. He has lost a lot of athleticism... whatever he had.

 

[Yuma]

This is just like a Summer League game for us against Denver's starting squad.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Nuggets 60 - Suns 51

 

[Proximo]

I'm not even sure Plumlee is ready for the backup role. He has lost a lot of athleticism... whatever he had.

Agreed. He looks to have very limited use, and one of them is not guarding big centers.

I enjoy it.

Dunn is impressing the hell out of me. Not just making threes but pull ups and step backs as well.

 

[Yuma]

I'm not even sure Plumlee is ready for the backup role. He has lost a lot of athleticism... whatever he had.

I'm not worried about center, barring injury. If we could trade for a legit big wing, cool.

 

[Mainstreet]

Agreed. He looks to have very limited use, and one of them is not guarding big centers.

Adding Plumlee necessitates adding another 4/5, somehow, someway.

 

[Mainstreet]

Frank is making his case for the 15th spot. He has 5 points and 2 rebounds.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ryan Dunn is doing it all tonight.

@Mainstreet is Ryan Dunn's play at wing making you look more at shoring up the center spot?

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm really liking Ryan Dunn. He could be a factor this season.

 

[Yuma]

Monte Morris on the corners seems deadly.

 

[Mainstreet]

@Mainstreet is Ryan Dunn's play at wing making you look more at shoring up the center spot?

I just don't feel comfortable with what the Suns have at center without even looking at the other positions.

 

[Yuma]

I just don't feel comfortable with what the Suns have at center without even looking at the other positions.

I am asking because I would put Large Wing as a priority over the center position. If you feel Dunn can fill that hole, then I could see looking at Center. That's why I was asking about if Dunn's play influenced your thinking.
