Jennings is terrible. He completely lost any game he had.

He has lost his scoring ability, but that's actually good, because he is less prone to look for his own offense now and has made strides as a distributor.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

What about Michael Carter Williams? He made a big splash when he entered the league but then he disappeared.

I have no problem with bringing Canaan back. I liked what I saw from him last year. He won't move the needle much, if at all, but he can give you solid play at the point.
That's how I feel about it.

I just really need some Suns news. We’re definitely in the dead zone of the offseason. This is the worst time
Of year in sports, all we have is baseball (snoozefest until the playoffs)
There’s also BattleBots. And we’re about to get a new Robot Wars series premiering this week; I hope that’s good too.

There is some interesting stuff in this article, but the idea of Reed starting and JJackson not starting is just not in the same time zone with reality.

I don't know that he's advocating for Reed starting. Just outlining some potential lineups that would maximize Booker's skills.

There has been some good podcasts lately on the Suns side. I'm just waiting for the Booker, Reed, Bridges, Ariza, Ayton lineup next year.

Which podcasts? I’ll listen to pretty much anything in August.

Sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat after dreaming about Knight leading 2 on 1 fast break with Ayton, only for him to lob it into the 4th row.

Did Knight learn how to throw a lob? Has he become a capable distributor? I have many doubts but we will see.

Unclear, seems to be different on a case-to-case basis with this injury, some don’t heal right. Probably at least 6-8 weeks. It is the same fracture KD had back on the Thunder.

Isn't that the same fracture Simmons had too?

That would have him back in time for preseason, maybe even the start of camp.

Jones fracture is pretty notorious for not healing quickly. Durant had issues with his and Simmons sat out the whole year. Philly probably plays this conservative...Zhaire might be out a while.
