Welcome Yuta Watanabe (Guard)

more like: "EWE-TER DA SHOOTER" He inexplicably throws an R at the end of some of his pronunciations.

I think he will say it like he does Utah. “You-Taw”

He is so unpredictable on pronunciations. He's from New Yawk, but sometimes he throws R's at the end of names that end in vowels, which is a midwestern thing. Definitely one of the more interesting characters in valley sports.

Only when the next word starts with a vowel. It's a way of dividing vowels from in another with some accents.

As in "Uter is the best."

Man. I watch the highlights of this kid and he just reminds me so much of Cam Johnson. He moves a lot like him, has the same kind of smarts. Similar athleticism (not extraordinary but has enough body control to make it all work well).

I am shocked that he was available.

It's funny, I kinda see that. I also think Toumani Camara reminds me of Bridges when he first became a Sun. Kinda shy, million dollar smile, older and a little more confident than the normal rookie. Not saying either guy replaces those two, but it is funny kind of the similarities.

I think Camara will not be pushed around down low like Bridges was.

Yeah, he's not the same defender as Bridges. A lot more strength and athleticism. Bridges had that knowledge of angles in playing defense. This kid looks more physical in defending. He's going up a level in physicality and speed. That's the question mark for him. How does he adjust?

I kinda think it is a bit silly to compare a late second round pick favorably to Mikal. Sorry. Camara is never going to be the defender that Mikal is.

But yes, he does seem to be a physical player.
