Suns Training Camp, October 1st through 4th, 2024

True that is the goal - here is the thing, bottom line the ball is still going to be in the hands of one of the big 3 80% of the time, so how much effect can that other 20% really have.

Really I have unfortunately come to the conclusion the Beal acquisition is screwing us. He does not fit on this team, and us trying to make him fit makes us worse. If we could flip him for a real 3 and D small forward I would be so much more optimistic about this teams chances.

Beal should definitely be used as a Ginobli-esque 6th who can run and score the second unit. But I really doubt that happens.

yeah that's not happening

I don’t see any chance the Suns are going to look like a SSOL team.

Durant is an ISO guy and I don’t see Bud or any point guard changing that about him.

In this interview Grayson clearly says he played at 220 last year. He only put on 5-10 pounds in his own words. 24 minute mark.

That's a much more reasonable gain. Guess the 195 was what he was listed at last year but his playing weight was 220?

There is intentional focus on Jusuf Nurkic taking more 3-point shots.

I’m sure opposing teams will welcome that. Nurk and 3’s sound better in theory than in reality.

Yes, and no more stepping out of bounds on the wing. Please.

Missing an apostrophe there. Big difference between F-U's and F-Us.

Except he wasn’t when he was in golden state. And he loved that offense.

Beal should definitely be used as a Ginobli-esque 6th who can run and score the second unit. But I really doubt that happens.

I agree that is his best use - but it is far from ideal and unlikely to happen. We would have been better off just letting CP3's contract expire or and then using the midlevel to sign a forward or trading him for a forward.

I can't even decide anymore which was the worse deal, KD or Beal. I am still leaning towards KD because of all the draft picks, but if we hadn't made the Beal deal we might actually have a more complete team that could actually compete with KD.

He played just as much isolation there, it just didn’t matter.

His first year in Golden State he had a career high of assisted 2 point shots, the next 2 years he took far fewer assisted shots and a lot more long 2s.

His habit of departing the offense was what what got him and Draymond at each other's throats.

Yes, and no more stepping out of bounds on the wing. Please.

They need a rectangle around the out of bounds line with an X through it.
