Re: Suns News: Week 12 1/1-1/7
As a Suns fan, I would do it too. Would love to see Ball, Booker and Jackson together.

And if we still have our pick and the Miami pick in the upcoming draft, and we get a little lucky in the lottery and don't screw up the picks... this team's young core could get very exciting, very fast.In2ition wrote:As a Suns fan, I would do it too.

Who's Isian? Did we get another brother?

It's interesting you say that. I've been contemplating the last few weeks whether he is a worthwhile free agent target. There are some aspects of his game that appeal to me.Ring_Wanted wrote: Randle is a bad contract waiting to happen.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.
Re: Suns News: Week 12 1/1-1/7
Randle feels like one of those guys who will slip under the radar but sign as an FA with some random team like Milwaukee or Memphis and then turn out to be actually really good.
Re: Suns News: Week 12 1/1-1/7
Randle has a place in this league but I'm not sure he's a great fit here. He's not bad, I'd just want more shooting

Reaching back a whole week here, but these questions are kind of interesting in terms of season totals. The top 5 total scorers and passers surprised me a bit.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:These don't quite count as QOTDs, but:

Re: Suns News: Week 12 1/1-1/7
Here's another one: Which Suns player do you think has played the most total minutes this season? Not minutes per game necessarily, but total minutes.
Re: Suns News: Week 12 1/1-1/7
Wow. I just realized we are 42 games in and have passed the halfway point in the season.

Re: Suns News: Week 12 1/1-1/7
Since we have a correct answer -
1 - Warren, 2 - Booker, 3 - Ulis, 4 - Bender, 5 - Jackson, 6 - Chriss, 7 - Chandler, 8 - Len, 9 - Daniels
I was surprised Ulis and Bender were so high on the list.

Re: Suns News: Week 12 1/1-1/7
We seem to be playing the right guys. The top 6 minute getters are the 6 I'd want getting the most minutes.

He's got skills but is also prone to mental lapses, has low motor and can't shoot from range, although he supposedly has improved his terrible defense (and is playing more at C).INFORMER wrote:It's interesting you say that.

I wouldn't be confortable spending say Dieng money on him and that's before even factoring in our current prospects at PF/C (they wouldn't deter me from acquiring the right guy but don't feel Randle is it).
While we are at it, one FA that has really crossed my mind lately has been Avery Bradley. He is going to be expensive as hell but there are not many guards out there with his ability to fit alongside Booker.

Booker - Warren - Bledsoe - Monroe - James - Canaan - Jackson - Len - Daniels - Ulis - Chriss - Chandler - Bender
APG
Canaan - Booker - Ulis - James - Bledsoe - (Big drop) - Monroe - Dudley - Huge drop off
Total Points
Booker - Warren - (Big drop) - Jackson - Daniels - James - Len - Ulis - Chriss - Bender - Chandler
Total Assists
Ulis - Booker - James - Huge drop. Like, James will probs finish the season in the top 5 in total assists, and very possibly could still be #3.
For all the we knock Jackson, he is already putting up the points. Now we need him to turn some bad shot attempts into assists.

Re: Suns News: Week 12 1/1-1/7
I wish Len were higher. But maybe we have already made up our mind on that one. I think we'll regret letting him go.Split T wrote:We seem to be playing the right guys. The top 6 minute getters are the 6 I'd want getting the most minutes.
Re: Suns News: Week 12 1/1-1/7
Avery Bradley is terrific. I'd love to have him here. I think his arrival is related to Detroit being better this year, for sure. And I think we could probably run him at guard alongside Booker, though I still wish that starting guard rotation had more ball movement / assists in it.Ring_Wanted wrote:While we are at it, one FA that has really crossed my mind lately has been Avery Bradley.
