There are similarities but DeRozan's game was more polished. He had holes in his game but also fundamentals, fluidity, more body control. Archie's shot selection is not as questionable as DeRozan in his early days as you don't see many inefficient hero shots. To be fair using Archie as a leading guard means he gets exposed and only highlights his shaky handles and tunnel vision.

That's actually a pretty mature and noble quote from Chandler. His play hasn't been great, but if he can help us mentor young players and make a transition into whatever our next era is, I'm okay with it.

Dermar had a pretty good midrange game. Archie still doesn't have anything away from the rim

I wouldn't say never, but it would take a lot from him to win me back. And practically speaking, it isn't going to happen.

Not from me but if he isn't traded & next year he averages 25 ppg while we are the 4th seed or something I can see people forgiving him. So... not much of a chance.
Go Suns!

Keef has had two great games this season. The first proved to be an aberration, so I'd be cautious about rushing to any conclusions from the second one.

Keef was clearly tanking until last night. Forget the stats. In terms of effort, last night he was trying like hell. Saw him dive on the floor a few times even. He had taken the whole season off. Last night proved it.

Yup. Pretty obvious. Like I said, punk ass bitch!

He really loved Coach Hornacek though!
