What if this is the year Okogie finally starts hitting 3s?

That would be good.

My wishful theory about guys like Okogie with spotty shooting/offense is that if you give them stability and confidence you'll get better results out of them. Okogie has been here a while now, and he knows he has a role on this team, so I think that helps him with his shooting confidence. I hope Dunn and Oso and others also get consistent roles so that they can grow the same confidence on offense. Oso already seems to have a very high BBIQ and I love seeing him out there.

I just don't know where the minutes for Okogie would come from. We're small as it is and unless there's an injury he's not taking minutes away from Beal, Book, Royce or Allen. I guess there are minutes at the 3 but it's another size disadvantage. My hope would be he proves to be a reliable 3pt shooter and we can flip him for a 3/4.

Oso is gonna be a nice rookie. if he can learn to defend and gets through the rookie wall he will see playoffs minutes.
Idk what to say about Okogie. I have a hard time seeing him get minutes regularly let alone cracking playoffs rotation. He and Lee are just situational players.

Has to be equal or lesser salary, right? There are actually a bunch of good players earning < 8million. I just don't know who would be available for Okogie.

Yea I'm not sure what's realistic or that teams would be calling up for Okogie. He'd be the most expendable on a 1yr deal tho unless we can get someone really good for Allen or O'Neal.

I'll be honest, I'm a little worried about how much weight that Greyson gained. He is looking a little slower out there.

Gotta replace 'x' with "twitter". Of course, I'm talking to the guy who can't fix his avatar. :P

One of these days I'll fix the X/Twitter link thing. I don't know exactly how to fix it and I'm always leery of site upgrades lest I break something. But I know it's annoying and I'll try to look at it before the season starts.

Nice win. I know it's preseason, but it's good to see the Suns have some good chemistry early offensively.
