Better off silent
I'm loving this signing more and more.
BTW. Jalen Smith said the player he wants most to emulate in intensity and playing style is Kevin Garnett.
Uh. Keep that thought young man.
Meh. He could have said that he looks to emulate the intensity of Dwight Howard.lol... we already have one big man’s mouth writing that check his ass hasn’t cashed yet. Let’s leave it at one Jalen.
absolutely nothing wrong with what he said grandpa
I don't know why he called you grandpa, but I have to agree on the other point We don't know if Jalen can back up his bravado. We DO know right now that DeAndre hasn't backed up his bravado. So I have no problem with Jalen having some confidence. Now he just has to deliver.What’s wrong with you?

jesus. chill out. What did I do to get you to respond like that? Oh, it's because it's me. Got it.jesus. It’s a joke playing off what Ayton said.

Here are Jae's career stats.
Free throws -- 1.5 made per game out of 2.0 attempted. Another 'big' who doesn't draw fouls.
Not that it is much better, but since he started getting big minutes in 2015 he has made 2.0 of 2.5 and is at 3 attempts per 36 in his career.He's more like PJ Tucker than he is a post up big. He's only maybe an inch taller than PJ and like Tucker he's physical on the perimeter, he's not the guy you feed the ball to down low. For comparison, PJ has averaged 1.3 attempts per game in his NBA career.

Yeah not really his game. Over the past 4 seasons about 60% of his shots have been threes.Which is almost double the attempts per 36 for Tucker's career. Not that those kind of numbers for either player mean anything really.

I think he has made an excellent choice.absolutely nothing wrong with what he said grandpa
My pointing out Jae's not drawing contact (as with Ayton) was notWhich is almost double the attempts per 36 for Tucker's career. Not that those kind of numbers for either player mean anything really.
Crowder isn't particularly a finesse player. He's just not a volume scorer that is going to be driving into the lane a whole lot to create contact.My pointing out Jae's not drawing contact (as with Ayton) was not
about him as much as the Suns continuation of their "finesse" DNA.
Or to put it bluntly, wuss basketball in a league that is indeed a
contact sport, especially down the stretch and in the playoffs.
Teams that are physical hardly get called for contact, but the wuss
teams that try to retaliate half-heartedly get penalized. To put it
another way, teams that are expected to be tough get away with
it, while those that aren't get the penalties.
It's like the philosophy, don't ask for permission to break the rules.
Do it, benefit the rewards, then face the consequences -- maybe.
Human nature! It may not be right but, as the saying goes,
there is no gravity -- the earth sucks.
Isn't it up to the coaches to figure out how? Then it's up to Ayton to have the courage to do it....it's Ayton that needs to step up in this area. He will take more shots around the basket than anyone else on the team and needs to figure out how to draw some contact.
