Ayton seems more aggressive tonight. I like it.

Bender is also more aggressive and confident out there

When Bender is engaged in the game, it is so much easier to watch him.

We really are fantastic defensively. Are we looking at the #1 seed in the tournament?

Bender, again, looks the part. He looks bigger, moves very well, handles well, has been on the boards. But overall, he's just not an effective player. He can bring the ball up and everyone knows he's just looking to give it up rather than attack and make something happen. He's still inconsistent from the outside which needs to be his calling card if we're not going to develop him in the post. Maybe his ceiling is in fact Jared Jeffries/Boris Diaw.

Taking Josh Jackson over Jonathan Isaac could end up looking really foolish.

I'd like to see more Okobo, tho Harrison has been playing pretty well.

Good ATO play to end the half. It's strange to see that our best thing to come out of summer league so far is our defense.

Also, they forgot to turn off the mics at half time and you heard the main commentator say, "Thank you so much, lets take a pee break.
Go Suns!

Im still bullish on Jackson. I love the aggressiveness--even if his default is too aggressive. He will probably have to adjust this season like he did last season, but he is a fighter, and he will keep fighting.

His shot selection is very Brandon Knight esque. I imagine he will pick up a few more Knight tendencies after actually playing with him.

Then Archie better watch out--his summer league scoring record might be in jeopardy.

Josh Jackson has elite length and quickness for a SF. I can't think of a matchup where I've thought "this guy is as quick as Josh is."
Go Suns!

Because he took an elbow to the face last game, and had to get stitches in (I think). He came back to play in the game, but had the mask on.

JJ got right up in Issac. Harrison locked down his man and ripped him. There's a lot of defensive potential with some of these guys and they're playing hard. A lot of energy from both teams.

Why does Jackson get to play so many mins while Bridges doesn't? And Jesus JJ pass the ****ing ball you have Ayton wide open for pick and pop.
