I remember a brief discussion about the summer league stats Bo Outlaw would put up when he played for the Suns. Level of competition matters. And yet DA couldn’t flash any semblance of an offensive game against this competition. He is basically a taller Kurt Thomas on offense with less guts https:/...

None of this means anything.

It means something for those who said that he has no heart, no competitive spirit, and doesn't even enjoy basketball and only does it because it's his job.

If that's the case, then why did he even play for the Bahamas?

Still too easy to force into favorable decisions for the defense. For example, teams started crowding him on the catch to limit his jump shot and using a double team when he received a pass within 7-feet of the rim. I can't remember one time he dribble attacked in those situations after the Cuba ga...

Who'll 'take a backseat' for Phoenix Suns' Big 3 of Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal? https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/nba/suns/2023/08/22/wholl-take-a-backseat-for-phoenix-suns-big-3-reggie-mi-of-devin-booker-kevin-durant-and-bradley-beal/70646418007/ It's interesting to compare o...

I love how he doesn't even look at the keys half the time.

The first game was different because the opposing roster was filled with guys who'd probably defect from their country if given the chance. Evaluating him playing in the Drew League would've been better than that game against Cuba. Quite possible but I saw stuff in that first game that he's never t...

Curious…. What will aytons PPG average be this season with all the tweaks? Given the teams make up… I’d be good with 18ppg. I doubt Ayton will average 18 ppg. There won't be enough shots to go around for him to average that many. But that's okay; we don't need that from him. I am hoping for more li...

Surely not his best game but I don't care whom you are playing, 21 boards can't be as easily discounted as it has been here. Consistency will continue to be an issue. Kevon Looney? Okay then let’s pay him Looney money. Not exciting. Woop dee doo he grabbed 21 boards in a YMCA game where he’s easily...

He was more efficient than a bunch of guys who'll never sniff the NBA. And Facundo Campazzo.

Hmm. I guess Hield and Gordon will never sniff the NBA.

JJJ and Ayton should swap salaries.

I'm impressed. That's the first time you've ever admitted that Ayton deserves $27M+ per year.

Scroll down to "Leaders" to see who the top performer was in the tournament.

I hope Al lives a long and happy life post-retirement. But I do worry about the same thing. Some of these older men, when they lose their wife or their job or their "thing" they've been passionate about, they don't last too long after that. They sort of atrophy without that thing in their...

I love how all of the Suns fans across the interwebs, even the Hayters, are excited about Ayton and his play in the tournament. But not on here. Nope. It’s never good enough on here.

I do have to admit I get a little nervous when I see this thread updated in the middle of the offseason. I mean, the man is 90-years-old after all. I totally get that; I am the same way. I almost put it in the Suns offseason thread just for that reason. Hoping he can still see that first ever Suns ...

I missed it, but it looks like it was a great game.

Would it be too weird if they played a recording of his "Shazam!" call over the arena PA system after Suns' made threes? Maybe it would be more appropriate to do it as an honor after he passes (perhaps for only one season)?
