Nice three point play by Goodwin. His stroke HAS improved. I think he just needs to get his basketball IQ in shape.

Odd when looking at the stats. The only player with a negative =/- is the top scorer, Archie.

That can mean something, or nothing at all. Interesting.

Booker looked good I think. He's an NBA player. Warren is a starting SF in this league. He just knows how to play.
Go Suns!

Caught it from about the 3rd qtr on...

Len looked decent. He's a big dude, has filled out...still a bit awkward but looks to be improving. His touch on his jumper is really good and actually reminds me of Amar'e. He had a nice pump fake and baseline drive but took off too early and finished short of the basket off balance but luckily was found. One more step and he could've had a big time dunk.

TJ...just a natural scorer. He doesn't need plays run for him, just finds ways to score with the ball. He had a beautiful turnaround jumper on Oubre. Like go-to-esque.

Archie has filled out and looks like he can get even bigger/stronger. Still doesn't have much of an offensive feel as a scorer. His handles have gotten better but i feel like he's going to be an east-west player. Jumper looked decent as well but he may be best as a corner shooter because his release looks a little low.

McNeal sucks, McConnell looked overmatched most of the time. Booker blended in, didn't see too much from him.

Thanks for the update guys. Was there much chance to see if TJ's shooting form has improved?

I didn't see him shoot any long distance shots but I was surprised when he missed a shot 15 ft and in.

I didn't think it needed much improving form wise. It's not Booker's stroke but it sure ain't Marion's either. Hehe.

I liked a few things that Booker did, but his shot was flat when he was wide open from 3.

Len looked good except when he fumbled some passes inside. That shit has to improve and be worked on, big time.

I love the way Warren plays and how he gets buckets.

Goodwin was the leading scorer, but I didn't think he looked that great.

Not a fan of McNeal and I thought that McConnell played much better, in better control and better vision.

I really thought that Oubre was outstanding, definitely a good pick by the Wizards. Porter better get his act in gear, but Oubre is going to take his spot at SF.

I just cant stop thinking if he could stroke the 3 and jumper with some consistency he would jump straight into the starting line up. I know its only one game, but does he look better? Folks here talk about goodwins shot endlessly so I thought it was worth asking about TJ. Big TJ fan here

I don't think he took an outside shot. They were all floaters and dunks.

He's probably still adjusting to the NBA 3. His jumpers were beautiful with plenty of arc.
