That stat line from Len is pretty crazy. Can't help but feel like if we had a better coaching staff they could have made something out of him.

I can’t fucking wait for him to be gone. That stat line couldn’t be more misleading. He hit a bunch of gimmes tonight. He gets that 1 out of 15 games he manages to stay out of foul trouble and get open dunks and its a total mirage.

I’m done with Payton. When Kennard leaves you in the dust and gets a layup on you, you can forget about it. We need a PG that at least attempts to play good defense.

Bird head playing like bird brains. I'm ready to abort the Payton project. Our last 10 games will be his last 10 as a Sun.

Like several others, I am fairly much done with The Quail. Harrisonl still needs polish in some areas, but he has a better work rate on D than The Quail.

Yup. Payton's been pretty underwhelming since a strong start.

I lost count how many pg’s we have had in the past couple of years.

I don’t follow College basketbal and I am not about to read 38 pages of the Draft Thread. We should get a great pick. Please tell me there is a kid named Magic Nash out there who plays PG.

Wanted to see how Josh would play after his big 36pt game
He still hustled hard and was hitting the glass well but his shot selection was a lil crazy at times. He obviously went into the game still on a high confidence wise, I not even too bothered by that tbh. With the sorry performances going on around him not like deferring often was really an option

Ya, kinda hard to expect Jackson to do much with no help.

I always want to criticize Jackson's shot selection and selective passing, then I remind myself of who he was sharing the court with.

Maybe a Steve Johnson would be easier to find, does it work for you?
