Ayton can tie it from the FT line.

Ayton is great at sealing in the paint.

Misses the 2nd but Suns get the O rebound. Have the ball down 1 with 50 seconds remaining.

Ayton is a BEAST on both ends of the court. There's just no doubt that hes playing like a #1 pick.

Down 2 with 17 seconds remaining and Kings with the ball.

Too many missed FTs.

For all Harrison's good defense, Fox and Yogi have killed us all night.

Can you believe Bender played the 2nd most minutes for us last season? He looks like a rookie fresh out of high school tonight.

It's soooo nice to have Ayton getting fouled on almost every tip down the court.

Our 3pt shooting specialists all shot like garbage tonight.

Jackson is the absolute real deal.

Yogi can hit 3's but is pretty poor at FTs.

Ayton got his 20/10.

Excited to see Ayton, Jackson and Booker playing together. Legit.

Ariza, Anderson, Bender, Reed, Bridges, and Daniels are a combined 1-15 form 3 tonight. That's the game.

I'm hoping because it's Preseason Game 1 that the 3 point shooting was bad, but man. It's still a problem.

Other then that, there are a lot of things to get excited for.

Ayton looked great; a true big man. We haven't had this since Amare. Also very impressed by Jackson and TJ Warren. Okobo had some decent stats off the bench. Ariza didn't make any 3s, but I have to say I liked his presence out there.

Bender just made me cringe. He looked like he was a random tall fan who had wandered onto an NBA court and they just threw a jersey on him and put him in the game.

How many offensive fouls did Shaq Harrison commit? 4? He pushes off and hooks on every layup.

Was hoping to see more from our supposed distance shooters. Our 3-point shooting was just awful. Ariza, Anderson, Daniels, Bridges, Reed. Nobody hit more than one 3. We'll need to do better.

glad to see Richaun managed to get in one of his typical nasty dunks being a live wire around the basket

I don't know about that Doyle dude, he can very well just be being objective but it comes across to me as throwing shade Ayton's way
