Game Day - Summer League Edition: Suns (0-0) @ Warriors (0-0), Sat 7/13/24

I didn't catch this game, but it looks from the clips and box score like it was a bit rough for our guys and that they played mostly as individuals and not as a team. IMO they should just pay some pass-first PGs to permanently play for these summer and G-League teams. These young guys need somebody who will throw them the ball and help them finish and score, not these hero-ball dribble-dribble chucker types who seem so common today. (Is this all Steph Curry's fault? Harden's? MJ's?)

Not a lot of highlights unfortunately but here are the ones to check out:

1:30 Dunn make a good cut along the baseline and calls for the lob but Roddy takes it the basket and misses - Oso get the OR tip

2:15 Dunn on the PG and helps for the TO off the PnR (maybe fouls the ballhandler but so what)

4:38 Dunn gets the pass up high and gets downhill, kicks it out to the corner. Doesn't expect the pass back to him on the block but recovers and puts up a nice turnaround fade. Good touch on the shot, high arc and release, looks like he's on balance and not just panicking and throwing up a wild shot.

4:49 Oso makes a hook just under the FT line. He had a bunch of these attempts but missed a few early on. This is kind of where his offense is tho, the hook over either shoulder and he's confident with it even at a longer distance.

4:57 Dunn and Oso picking up and switching on Pod, doing a good job and bothering him but our defense gives up the backdoor cutter (a theme for us all game)

5:45 Bridges with the C+S 3 from the wing. Looks pure and shoots it with confidence.

7:23 Oso downhill from the top of the key, initiating contact and finishing at the rim.

Phoenix Suns Summer League: Where is PG Collin Gillespie? How did draft picks look?

Feels like there's more to it with Gillespie.
