He looked so calm with the ball in a tight game! Plus, he never forces anything. He moves the ball really well. We've got a steal here, folks.
It's nice to have a young player to get excited about, and there's some well deserved Booker buzz at the moment.
On a related note, I have high hopes Len is going to take some big steps forward this year.
Len played big last night. He was aggressive when it came taking the ball to the rim and his rebounding.

Glad to see Leuer playing well. Always liked his game and he can be a factor for us off the bench. Not a great way to start the game tho, gotta get better at that. And Teletovic going 1-10 is pretty ugly but I feel like he tends to have games like that. A little like Channing in that regard.

Coach played 15 guys last night but it looks like you got the starters, then TJ, Leuer, Telly, Lenny and Booker with a bulk of the minutes off the bench. Price played 19 minutes but I doubt he's in the rotation during the season. So that could be your 10...maybe PJs minutes drop off a bit and Weems gets some time but that's not a bad rotation overall, especially if Bleds and Knight are sharing backcourt duties. I like the depth up front. Just not sure how the SF spot shakes out. PJ brings defense, TJ brings offense and Weems a bit of both. Don't love PJ starting because I think he's a great role player to bring off the bench for some 3 and D, but not sure if TJ allows us to spread the floor properly.

I didn't get to see Len last night but he had nice numbers in limited minutes.

Kieff didn't look so great on the offensive end but no one on our team did at the beginning of the game. I was impressed by the 6 boards and 2 blocks though. If Kieff puts effort into the boards and defense it will be big for us.

All the young guys looked pretty good out there. Archie came in after Booker which says a lot. I wonder how Archie will respond.

Archie looked good in his brief appearance. Not much more he could have done with his time.

Last night just proved to me there won't be much time for Archie barring injury. I know you can't make too much out of preseason game 1 but think about how Eric and Brandon were limited to 25 min each and there was little time for Archie once you factored in Booker and Weems. I'd think you could get something interesting with Archie, Markieff & a 1st.
Go Suns!

Yeah, like I said previously, I think Archie is on his way out. Last night kind of cemented that idea with me when he was practically the last guard to come into the game.
