2023 Suns General Offseason/PostSeason News Thread

I don;t think that's an improvement. The ball on the white jersey is a bit of a mess, the word mark on the graphic rather than above make it less cluttered and the trim at the neck and shoulders doesn't work as well.

Turns out Jock wasn’t too happy with Coach William’s rotations either. (A little more than 27 minutes in.)

Wonder if the nets made an offer to Jock.

[Kryptonic]

These would’ve pretty cool too

I dig…. There’s something about the ball on the new one I don’t like. I wish they would have included more color, but it is growing on me as times gone on.

He’s not wrong…. Heck 95% of us here had issues with Monty’s rotation.

I’d be curious what those guys(Podcast hosts) opinions were while it was happening. I don’t like when people are nice and positive while someone is on the team and then flip on them immediately once they leave. Did they always dislike Monty and just kept their mouths shut? Or is he an easy scapegoat because he’s gone?

As for Jock. He was a backup big. He played well for us, but I don’t think he always fit what we needed. I think it’s telling that they go on to mention Bizzy went through the same thing. Well duh…they took turns being the backup big that Monty played. He played who he thought he needed. Neither of those guys were good enough to be the clear backup over the other one.

Where I would fault Monty here is maybe he didn’t communicate the why very well. Doesn’t seem like Jock knew when/why he’d drop back to 3rd string.

It's low hanging fruit from people on social looking for content during these dog days. Scapegoating Monty now when they don't need access to him or the team is lame but that's how some content creators/beatwriters roll. Monty wasn't perfect but from some of the stuff you see/read, you'd think he was Earl Watson or Lindsey Hunter.

It seems the EG stuff really was false—strange that Marc Spears would get it wrong. Maybe DA was trying to recruit EG?

Is Eric Gordon even Jamaican?

Please keep us posted of when the Bahamian team is playing and if it's on TV. Thanks.

Somebody here said his mother was Bahamian.

ETA:
From Wikipedia:
Gordon's mother, Denise, is a native of Nassau, Bahamas. Denise met Gordon Sr. at Liberty University where Gordon Sr. played basketball, and is still the school's 18th-leading scorer.[86]

[Nodack]

That reminds me of when Joe Klein’s face got in the way of Karl Malone’s elbow. Then again Malone was famous for taking out players with his swinging elbows. One of the dirtiest players ever.

If it was his rookie year, then it would have been against the Suns. Most likely this game: https://www.basketball-reference.com/bo ... 00PHO.html

I thought this was a really good article on Drew Eubanks: https://gophnx.com/2023/08/02/drew-euba ... aky-great/

All you gotta do is change the D on his jersey to an H on that first picture and you're set.

As a rim protector, the 26-year-old makes up for his comparative lack of length with lateral mobility, great anticipation and otherworldly hops. Eubanks recorded 102 blocks last season, the 11th-most in the entire league. For comparison, Ayton finished the year with 53 blocks despite playing 450 more minutes.
