I wouldn't mind seeing the Suns go after Layman in this off-season.
I think he only plays well against the suns
He’s also another SF

And a tech to end the 3rd. Last two end of quarters we just seem gift wrap momentum for the opponent. We take being a good host too seriously.

How the hell do you need a timeout 30seconds after the quarter starts when you were already down

He's 6'9" and is listed as a pf, but yes he plays like a sf. I'd rather he not play well against the Suns though.

Get down by 20 and they decide to do a T-shirt toss. I guess some fans set those shirts on fire and throw them at the suns bench.

Get down by 20 and I won’t watch it live. Sorry guys but the suns brought this on themselves. It should be a general fan rule so they lose out on ad views when they play so badly.

Another timeout at 6:38.

Luckily they only have 2 left.

He’s taller than I thought and he has played 10-15% of his minutes at the 4. He only has a 6’9 wingspan though and really is only a 4 in the sense that Oubre or josh Jackson is a 4.

Jackson has been rebounding very well at the 4 with Warren out. 19 rebounds the last two games.

Yeah, he's skinny as heck, but super active, good skill set and very springy. I like how he plays when I watch him.

In the 20 minutes that Okobo was not on the court we were outscored by 24 points. He was a +10 in 28 minutes.

I'm not complaining. He still put in 17 points (6-12 FGs) and 3 steals. I'll take that.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

Yuck. I specifically watched him tonight because I wanted to know why he gets mins. He literally just plays well against the Suns. All his rebounds are uncontested and come straight to him. If he is ever contested by another player for the loose ball the other player always gets it (Tyson Chandler syndrome)

His shots are either wide open, or uncontested layups where the ball just comes to him on a miss and he puts it back in.

He doesn't play much defense and his man regularly gets around him on drives.

He's a statistical anomoly.
