At least Chris Paul won't be the first one to make him cry as a member of the Suns.
No, my money is on Ayton being the first to cry at Paul's hand.

I like to hear that he improved how shot and body while in college. Translation: a guy that works on his game in the offseason. Also with a Navy father he probably has a good deal of self discipline.

It sounded like he went from 195 to 215 in a year.

I think "The Fellas" is a Suns Twitter thing that kinda started as a joke since Book used it somewhere and other fans began scouring twitter and instagram for other references by suns players. Then Chris Paul used it in his instagram tweet to OKC fans and it was official lol.

Exactly. That reference by the Suns account was next level.

Yea it's pretty cool to see them so in tune with the fans and pick up on it like that.

Yes. absolutely if you don't get the Hooters with the Fellas reference.
...I am certainly older and more out of touch than you... I just happened to catch that on twitter the last week or so.

This "second round grade" talk in reference to Jalen Smith is just silly.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

One thing is for sure, I’d gladly give Jalen Smith all those Frank Kaminsky minutes from last year. Think he’s better in every way.

Nearly anyone would be. I am curious if there is a front court player making 5M or more last year that was worse.

Yeah and when some people look at that and call him stiff? Like what? Stiff is Jake Tsakalidas. Not Jalen Smith. He might not be Amare but he’s going to dunk on a lot of folks.
Go Suns!

Ryan Anderson made $5.2M last season and will for two more seasons, but it's because he was waived and had his massive contract stretched.

The stiff talk is because his lateral movement is so poor. He can be a bit mechanical on offense if it isn't a strictly catch and dunk situation or catch and shoot.

That's what I'm seeing as well. I wouldn't call him stiff, just a well lubricated, young Kurt Thomas.
