Game Day (Preseason): Breakers (0-0) @ Suns (0-1), Wed 10/03/18

[INFORMER]

I thought of Bridges as a "can't fail" prospect in the NBA. Not going to change my mind for a while, but i can't help watching him and thinking "Please don't be Wesley Johnson. Please don't be Wesley Johnson. Please don't..."

So true. After his first summer league game, he has been really bad. It's early, but ugh...

[INFORMER]

TJ is just frustrating. If he could shoot the three, become a strong rebounder, or play good defense he would be a stud for us. Just disappointing he hasn't really added anything to his game.

Yep.

[INFORMER]

Dragic is just so much better than Teague.

And I would take George Hill over both of them. Most of Hill's 2019-20 salary is not guaranteed.

Informer, I know it's preseason and the Kings and Breakers of all teams. But what are your thoughts on Ayton so far?

[INFORMER]

I'm very encouraged. His play has eased me off the ledge a little bit.

[SDC]

Sooo, Barrett? Reddish? Williamson? LIttle? Who we like?

Williamson.

barrett of course. BPA. and josh jackson should start worrying if mcdo is tempted to tank again midseason.

not having a decent pg will hurt bridges the most.

[INFORMER]

Interesting point, sdc.

[Drewsprocket]

I just think if McD acts now he can buy a PG who makes this team competitive. The west is due for a big shake up in the power rankings and the suns have a chance to win as an underdog.

Bridges is what he is: a 3&D guy. That requires him to be in a position to free himself up at the 3 point line and it requires his teammates to find him. I don’t think he’s got the right people around him right now, and certainly not on the second unit with Chandler/Holmes, Reed, Okobo/Melton, and Warren/Bender. There’s nobody besides Bender in that lineup that’s an above average passer, and Bender is above average just in pure quantity of passing but not necessarily quality. If you’re expecting him to do anything but play D and hit the open 3 at this point, you didn’t watch him much in college I feel.

I’m not surprised he’s been invisible with the group he’s played.

You just know that if the Spurs or Rockets or Warriors etc. had gotten Bridges, he'd be just nasty good. But on our team, he'll be lost.

Nah. Maybe in the old days but now we’ve got a new sheriff (coach) in town.

I hope that is the case. But when the old days were the current days, how often did you openly admit that our player development sucked?

I don't think I said anything either way about player development. I did however mention how our Xs and Os sucked balls.
