Looks like Thad Young has more going on than just basketball. https://reformventures.com/ Don't know what kind of legs he has left at 35 but his brain looks to be in good working order.
Re: Suns News: Week 17 (2/12/24 - 2/18/24)
This board has been wanting him for probably a decade lol.
Hope he's got some juice left, bench needs it.

Jones and Vogel out, Lue or Lee in, draft Grant Nelson or Tyler Kolek.
Re: Suns News: Week 17 (2/12/24 - 2/18/24)
Really good news. Need him in the frontcourt, a lot of defensive versatility.
Re: Suns News: Week 17 (2/12/24 - 2/18/24)
Even if he’s not an every day guy…if he can just be another option when we need it for 10 minutes or so I’ll be happy
Re: Suns News: Week 17 (2/12/24 - 2/18/24)
Always love seeing this one

Book/Beal/Allen/KD/Nurk with
Gordon/O’Neale/Thad off the bench is a pretty strong top 8 if Thad can hold up.

This is thread-worthy, so moving a few posts over into this topic.

And if Gordon holds up. Hopefully suns can round into shape chemistry wise and back off giving a lot of minutes to Little, Eubanks and Okogie to save playoff legs of KD and Book and Nurk.

Re: Suns sign Thaddeus Young
Playoff rotation -
F - Durant, Allen, O'Neale, Young, (Okogie)
C - Nurkic, Eubanks (Bol)
G - Booker, Beal, Gordon, (D. Lee)
They could probably still use some offense off the bench

Re: Suns sign Thaddeus Young
I think Young is mostly a 5 now…I’d put him in Eubanks spot, move Eubanks to Bol’s spot and move Bol to Young’s spot.

Re: Suns sign Thaddeus Young
I don't see Eubanks getting much more than spot minutes once the playoffs start - Durant and Young will probably get the backup minutes there. I don't see Bol or Okogie getting many minutes in the postseason either, but I see a role for Eubanks against bigger teams.

Re: Suns sign Thaddeus Young
Ya I think we will probably stick with Eubanks for now and try to phase Thad in as a small ball option that might become our primary option come playoff time.

Re: Suns sign Thaddeus Young
And we still have 1 open roster spot left, is that correct?
Re: Suns sign Thaddeus Young
We do. I’d keep it open and wait to see what we need, but I hear we are interested in Gallinari. I’d be ok with that
Re: Suns sign Thaddeus Young
Well, I hope he's still got enough juice left. I'll see it when I believe it. Can't say the Suns aren't going for it this year.

Re: Suns sign Thaddeus Young
How is Young's defense? I hope it's better than his career 3 pt percentage of 32.8%. Oof.

Re: Suns sign Thaddeus Young
If he does better than Warren or Ross last year that's great! But I just don't see it. Also not great that he's shooting 16% from 3 this year.
