I suppose Len is playing, but I doubt Warren will.

Gonna be tough without Warren. 3 games in 3 nights is crazy, even for SL.

What happened to Warren?

I'm way more excited about this game than I have any business being about a summer league game. I have dreams of visitors to TSRA filing past the trophy, and a sign that can be seen for miles reading, "Phoenix Suns, 2015 Las Vegas Summer League Champions. Take that, Cubby!" If only we can get past the Spurs.

Devin Booker's play the last few games has been really, really encouraging.

Booker is for real. I don't care who wins this game, but I'm glad we advanced far into the tourney so we could get more games and more practice.

Loving the Booker pick right now. When he came down and just nailed the straight on three last night, I was so excited.

Agreed, his upside is looking great right now. Starting to look like one of the steals of the draft, if not the steal.

I'm really curious if he'll be able to get into Hornacek's rotation.

Don't see why not, we aren't exactly brimming with 3pt threats.
Love, Hurts.

I wonder why we didn't take Anderson. I loved him in the '14 draft. Wanted us to get Warren/Anderson at 14/18. But we passed on him twice. And a lot of other teams passed on him too.

At this point, I can't say with any confidence that TJ > Anderson. Back where I started.

That's a recantation of a sort. TJ looked better in last year's summer league. :?

The box score has Len with 3 rebounds. Who is handling the stats?

Zero blocked shots as well. I think someone is sleeping on the job.

Alex had a block at the start of the game. I was down on his SL performance, until I saw his stats - 11&9 in 23 MPG with 2+ blocks, not bad. Too many turnovers, FG% too low. At this point, yeah, I'd rather have Gobert. We haven't seen the progress on the offensive end that we should see by now. He's a starter in this league, but I'm starting to think his ceiling isn't that high.

I was just saying they weren't recording what he was doing. Len was doing really well on the board in the first quarter. He also had at least 2 blocks. I was just annoyed they weren't counting his stats.

Len has been fine this summer I wish he was more confident offensively but he doesn't seem to be there yet. His defense and rebounding has been good though. Hopefully the offense will click sometime this season.

Man these refs. The Suns were nowhere near that shot to block it. That guy just air balled it.
