This one kills me. Like nails on a chalk board.

I gave him a pass the first time but then he did it again. No soup for you!

My thoughts on Jok: He is making NBA type plays in those highlights, but the game is much slower. Defenses are slow and he's never really pressured by a defender. He is going to have to play a LOT faster to make it in the NBA. Still, not a bad training camp invite.

I don't think Jok fits on our opening night roster, barring another injury. We have Milsap's spot, Len's spot, and Alec Peter's spot. One of those needs to be a 2-way. If Peters doesn't pan out, Jok can take the 2-way spot. Otherwise, I have no interest in bringing in a 21 year old who wont play. I would rather fill the 14tha dn 15 spot on the roster with veteran leadership.

Actually, we have Knight's spot, as well. But I would still rather have Barbosa back than Jok.

Watched Jok for 4 years at Iowa. He's like a Victor Oladipo lite on offense. Victor better at slashing. Jok better pure shooter. He put up 25+ five times this year in the Big Ten conference season which is tough because they tend to be a more defensive minded conference than most. He was unstoppable in stretches. If, and it's a big if, he can adjust to the speed of the NBA he will be a valuable microwave off the bench eventually. His defense isn't great but I never heard him labeled as a "liability" in college.

How do we have Knight's roster spot? Are you thinking they will give us a disabled player exception and allow us to fill it with a player?

“Devin Booker will talk a little. I love Devin Booker, man,” Durant told Simmons. “He love the game and he like a dog. He’ll talk (expletive). He’ll, like, rough you up. He’ll get up into you. You better watch out for that boy because he is nice. He next — I’m telling you.”

Ha ha! That is great to hear. He has the respect of many a good NBA player. If he keeps progressing, I could easily seem him in the Suns' Ring of Honor when all is said and done.

Yeah, we might see something like that.

Durant is calling Booker "next" and we have writers at CBS that are claiming he isn't even good.

"His ceiling is CJ McCullum"

smh

Ammmmm........ Oh dear smh

That f-ckin blows man. I was super excited about him. This probably means a lost rookie season now. McD's probably happy tho since it fits in the #TheTimeline.

Yea I feel the same, not knowing who he was on draft night I was just "hoping" he could be kinda like Raja then I was pleasantly surprised during SL and as u said was looking forward to him contributing this season

Good job, Bajan. You beat me to it.
https://twitter.com/KellanOlson/status/901105441509220352 I guess we now know why we signed Peter Jok, but he isn't the defensive presence Reed is, obviously.

DJJ probably gets those minutes, if he wasn't already gonna get them.

Sucks, because I thought Reed was our 2nd best player in summer league. I hope he comes back and gets a chance to play next season.

That is a pretty major surgery if they are saying 4-6 months. Wow. Typical scopes are 4-6 weeks.
