I bet they give Bender as many minutes as possible during summer league. Sink or swim time.
I agree with that approach.
Sink or swim time for a 20 year old? Yeah okay.
It's summer league. He is a 3rd year player. So yeah, I think it is ok to expect him to excel.

There's something about Doncic.. You just know he's gonna be good.. He has that air about him.
Lol, because of how he looks in a polo? ;)

I think he is going to be great too.
Running the offense on a team that won as much as his did at his age was insane.

Back to our guy though can we please give him the ball.

I think asking Bender to create off the dribble just isn't going to end up working. He isn't comfortable doing it and doesn't do it well. He is much better catching it near the free throw line and finding the open man coming from off ball screens. I think it is a mistake to push him to create off the dribble. They should just try to focus him in on defense, rebounding, and hitting the open three. Rebounding is really important for him this season.
Good points.

I like how Bridges played
Full disclosure , I was a long skinny kid in my playing days so I used to watch guys with that build (loved Francisco Garcia) and tend to want those guys succeed lol. I know most guys don't stay in college more than 2yrs these days but I still believe 4yr guys like Bridges just come in with a better feel for the game

Your point is valid but is Devon Reed and JD really 3's?
Reed is a 2/3. The Suns have tried to force Dudley into being a stretch 4, but it hasn't looked good. So yeah, he is a 3.
Dudley ain't a 3 at that size.
He probably isn't an NBA player at that size either.
I can't disagree with that.

I really liked seeing Harrison feed Ayton off the pick and roll.

There we go. He gets a touch where he is comfortable and hits a nice jumper.

I miss the Talking Stick resort commercials. So much better than the rapping car salesman.

Ayton’s rolls to the basket are getting guys white open shots. Just because he doesn’t score doesn’t mean he’s not factoring into the game.
