Suns Trade for Bazley
Re: Suns Trade for Bazley
I’m tentatively optimistic Bazley will be a good pick up. It seems if he can stick to a defined role, he will be very useful. KD, CP3 and Booker are as good a trio as any to keep a young player in their lane I reckon.

Re: Suns Trade for Bazley
Yeah
Glad to see guys pulling some numbers to support what I would've noticed with just an eye test
Have never heard any issues with his Defense
It was the 2/9 games with turnovers that you would expect better efficiency from a forward
So like some are saying, that simply might be a product of system cause we all know OKC were just out there scrimmaging for a while

It's a limited sample size but I really like what I'm seeing here. He had numerous opportunities to foul Doncic during that particular play, and the fact he didn't, shows a level of control and maturity that many young players lack.
I'm sure there is plenty of footage of him doing precisely the opposite but these clips show the potential is there.

Re: Suns Trade for Bazley
Yeah I am seeing a lot more love for this kid on twitter. I just hope it’s not his work ethic or personality that lost him minutes. Like I said, it’s hard to develop everyone when you’re on a youth roster - there is a lot less stability to build on and roles are in flux too much.
With him being our young guy hopefully in practice he can hone his skills, earn respect from elders and coaches, and earn some minutes with the starting lineup. Having his length defensively and simply a plus offensive player would be amazing. Financially he’d be in for a big paycheck if he does.

Re: Suns Trade for Bazley
I'm already feeling bad for this guy. Expectations, at least for this year, are too high among the fan base.

I don't think so. As long as he can step in for Durant with no drop off, he should be fine.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 6:20 pmI'm already feeling bad for this guy. Expectations, at least for this year, are too high among the fan base.

People seem excited for his defensive potential but let's be honest, most persons pay more attention to offense and at least that's the side of the ball more scrutinized
For that reason I don't think he would be under the microscope like someone who the fans expect to hit shots/score

Bazley couldn't get run on a lottery team, he won't get much Here either, you hope you can grow some of his tools, but I don't expect him to do much, he was probably the best they do in the Saric dump.
Jones and Vogel gotta go.
Re: Suns Trade for Bazley
Ya I’m intrigued by Bazley…but certainly not counting on him. I think there’s a chance he could help us, but I want to see it before making any kind of definitive claims.
Re: Suns Trade for Bazley
Disagree. They made the trade to get a good look at him before he hits RFA. He's going to play.

The good thing with our big four is that you can put pretty much anybody out there with them and they'll look pretty good.

Re: Suns Trade for Bazley
I would love to develop Bazley as our long term 5th starter…well I guess 4th as we also probably need to replace CP3 soon
Re: Suns Trade for Bazley
Whoa, settled down. He just needs to be a Giannis-stopper and we’ll be fine.Superbone wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 6:22 pmI don't think so.

Re: Suns Trade for Bazley
Ayton has done great against Giannis in the past in spite of the Finals- I think Giannis went super saiyan and Ayton wasn’t prepared for all that. He just needs to focus himself on his 1v1 defense again.Shabazz wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 3:34 pmWhoa, settled down.

Re: Suns Trade for Bazley
How about a lockdown defensive lineup of Booker, Okogie, Bazley, KD and Ayton/Biyambo?
Or a big lineup of Booker, Warren, Bazley, KD, Ayton?
