I’m still going Goodwin over Butler. He was double figure +/- for virtually the whole game and I thought much better in the minutes against the Lakers starters. Generally better at defense and plays a more team oriented game.
But I could see how they would prioritise Butler’s shooting and scoring punch.

I really enjoyed tonight's game

It's cool to have a bench guys game and know that hey
Some of these young dudes are actually our future and just not a bunch of misfits who probably not going to be part of the team as been the case in recent seasons

Maluach potential was there for all to see and I'm glad we can be patient with him.
Yes that's assuming that Mark is the guy (still don't mind the Williams trade) and will continue to be my usual optimistic self that the plan for him results in 60 or so games played

I like that Fleming kept shooting, his form is decent and he knocked down a few. His length is nuts and he definitely will be a solid defensive player

I am a Brea fan, his shot actually been off this game and a half of run he had. The 1st half I liked that when he got ran off the 3pt line that he used his height on some nice contested jumpers. Looks like he got in his head a lil bit in the 2nd half because he was missing his 3s and started pressing a bit. Still think in time he is one of those snipers that every team values

Great game !

It was good to see Butler on a heater tonight. Goodwin was excellent and Maluach was very active in the paint with his rebounding and shot blocking as well as scoring. The 10th pick of the draft played with a lot of promise. That was a very encouraging sign.

Once again, the Suns played pretty scrappy defense out there. I know it's just for preseason games, but they show that they want to stay consistent with it. Jordan Ott and the coaching staff is really laying that foundation down really good. To be scrappy on defense and stay aggressive.

I wish they had one more preseason game to play, but I'm ready for next Wednesday. Go Suns !

Flemings shot reminds me of Horrys; his only fault, lol
His defense(especially steals) is amazing
