Mike James has been terrific this quarter.

I think everyone has a soft spot for Ulis, but James should really be the primary backup PG.The Bobster wrote:Mike James has been terrific this quarter.

James isn't the future for this team. Ulis may be. If player development is our primary goal, Ty needs the minutes.Flagrant Fowl wrote:I think everyone has a soft spot for Ulis, but James should really be the primary backup PG.The Bobster wrote:Mike James has been terrific this quarter.

Well, they didn't do a great job of closing it out, but you have to be impressed with the effort in the 4th quarter.

That was a fun 4th quarter to watch. Should be a fun season to watch the guys develop.The Bobster wrote:Well, they didn't do a great job of closing it out, but you have to be impressed with the effort in the 4th quarter.

Len, James and a little bit of TJ won the game in the 4th quarter against the Blazers scrubs.
I was impressed with Jackson's shooting. He had a really nice stroke from deep tonight and I hope he can keep it going. It's gonna take a while for him to figure out somethings that he can't get away with as a rookie in the NBA, but I love that he plays hard the whole time. Him and TJ complement each other pretty well.

I just finished watching the game on DVR delay. What a treat it is to watch the Suns play!
Jackson seemed like he had some legit skills. I don't at all like the form on his shot, but he did make a couple of 3s. Jury still out for me.
Really really impressed with Warren. I'm telling you, that contract we signed him to will be an absolute steal. We've all forgotten about him with the bumpy last year he had, but the guy is a stud.
Booker can just sleepwalk his way to 20 points and make it look easy.
Between Ulis and James I really would be fine with Bledsoe being traded. Bled had a decent stat line but I loved the looks and passes that Ulis was getting. He just sees guys better. Big fan of the Ulis-Booker connection especially.
Great to see the guys get a win. YSMF!!

Thanks for the updates guys. Not as good as seeing the real thing though.
In time.

Yeah, I was really pleased with our offense. We looked much better than last year.ShelC wrote:We seem to be running some good sets on offense. A lot of ball movement, player movement, passing. Shooting is still a weakness tho. I feel like we have guys who can shoot, but aren't shooters. We're good in the midrange and getting to the basket, but Booker's probably our only pure threat out there.

Yep, Troy Daniels really impressed tonight. He's just what we need backing up Booker with Reed out.iLLmatic wrote:I love Warren's offensive game. That little push shot is nice.
The Troy Daniels trade is looking like a savvy move by McD.

I really like the new uniforms in action. Warren is a stud and almost scored at will. Impressed with the simplified game of Len and really pleasantly surprised with Mike James and Daniels. I thought Chriss, Bender, Ulis and Jackson really struggled overall.

This is a laughable take. Dude isn't even 20 yet. Do you not remember the first 2 years of Dragic? He could barely even bring the ball up the floor as a rookie.specialsauce wrote:Bender just don’t have it.
He has all the skills, just no aggressiveness. He’s invisible out there and it’s not for a lack of touches. He just immediate passes the ball every time he gets it. He’s scared to touch the ball
Re: Game Day (Preseason): Suns (0-0) @ Blazers (0-0), Tues 10/3/17
Bender positives: he was much stronger on the boards than I've seen him in the past. He was mixing it up in there and grabbing contested rebounds. He also threw a few nice passes.
Bender negatives: Shot was flat. Had trouble dribbling in traffic.

Chriss and bender only look ready to play the 5 against small ball lineups. It made a big difference when Len came In during the 2nd half. Mind you I like the rim protection with len and bender in there together
Didn't notice Chriss much at all
Swanigan looked good
The offense looked like a bit better movement. Teams are going to struggle to defend tj and booker from mid range and then there is no relief with Jackson coming In. Jackson will contribute immediately and should be getting major minutes straight away.

The beast from Purdue was one of my targets at the draft. Would have absolutely loved him and wouldn't surprise me at all if he does better than Chriss. His pairing with Nurkic will be very interesting to follow.ShelC wrote:I really like Swanigan.
