Suns vs Kings, Las Vegas, 7-7-17

[hsandhu]

Bender looks so much more confident this year. The tools are definitely there.

The key to bender is the jumper, he is almost as tall as porzimgis, more fluid and quicker, he just cant shoot like porzingis.

If he can, it'll be huge, because he can shoot over anybody.

 

[Dr. Jones]

he is not a one an done player. Looks and plays like Walter Davis

Dude.... I thought the same thing.

He just needs consistency and rhythm. It's a really nice shot, but too often he is flat.

So far Reed looks like he will be taking Jones' spot on the active team. He is playing good d and can hit the open jumper. Bender looking much better out there as a stretch 4-5. Chriss is looking a little bit more like Amare now and able to finish with contact.

JJ is playing good D, but would like to see him on Held or Fox to see what he can do. Shot is not there and hope he can start getting to the rim. I am sure with better spacing in normal games he will get more opportunities.

Jones and James not doing much yet.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Pleasantly surprised by Reed. Encouraged by Jackson. He didn't fully put everything together in that first half, but he has a presence about him. That's how Booker was his first game. Ennis and Marshall felt like busts almost immediately.

 

[Chaplin]

Defense has been very good.

 

[Chaplin]

Is it just me or does this seem like a local Sacramento broadcast?

Maybe they're getting it out of the way. Apparently Booker is going to join the broadcast in the 3rd quarter.

 

[SirStefan32]

Nice drive to the hoop by JJ!

Holy crap yes.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Not to overrate the eye test in one meaningless game, but Josh Jackson and Fox both look like MUCH better prospects than Ball. I have been a Lonzo fan, but I am seeing some real red flags...

Perhaps Slin was onto something after all?

 

[Folster]

Jackson's hitch in his shot is going to cause him problems getting off his shot. He's already been blocked a couple times. Hopefully he can clean it up.

 

[Mainstreet]

Davon Reed keeps impressing me.

 

[Chaplin]

I almost had forgotten how bad the officiating is in the NBA .

 

[Folster]

Chriss has bulked up, but a little too quickly. He is a little soft. Hopefully he cuts down before the season.

 

[GatorAZ]

Nobody can stop Fox so far.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

These aren't even NBA caliber officials. They awarded the Kings a free throw for Papagiannis' technical and had to redo everything when they finally realized they gave the shot to the wrong team. Embarrassing

 

[Chaplin]

They keep putting Jones on him for some reason. No wonder Fox is doing well.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Nobody can stop Fox so far.

His speed is even more impressive in person.

 

[SweetD]

Nobody can stop Fox so far.

Well they have Jones on him that is horrible! I want to see Jackson play on him

 

[Mainstreet]

Fox is going to be so good. He has all the talent in the world. Those first two teams in the draft wanting a PG may regret not drafting him.

 

[SirStefan32]

That's what I've been wanting to see. Jackson is supposed to be this defensive stopper. Well, let's see it!

 

[Mainstreet]

Jackson is going to work offensively.

 

[95pro]

Bender couldn't back down Fox. Sad. I don't see the upside on him like some on here.

 

[GatorAZ]

They should sit Chriss if he refuses to box out.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Concerned at how effective Cooley has been down low.
