*probably a loose grip by most people’s standards, but it’s a start 😀

He's closer to Ben Wallace than Dikembe or Garnett.
Still not close!

He had 3 good games and 3 bad ones...talent is there, but he’s a work in progress.

Well, they let go of Jones and it seems that Saric might be out, so it seems them recalling Chucker Smith is appropriate.

When the Suns send players to the G-League, it's basically just for conditioning since they're playing for another teams development program.

I’m 43 and I’ve only just got a grip on life - I see the same late development happening with Ayton for whatever reason .. whether it’s with us or someone else is another matter altogether.
Well, if he figures it out at 43, he's probably not going to help too many NBA teams. ;)

Couple interesting things I found looking at stats:

Suns are 15-2 when Booker takes less than 20 shots, 3-7 when he takes 20 or more.

Suns are 10-1 when Cam Johnson hits at least 3 3s.

Suns are 5-0 when Mikal Bridges has at least 2 steals. 4-0 when he has at least 5 assists, and 5-0 when he has at least 2 turnovers.

All of it kinda makes sense. We win when Booker doesn’t have to carry the offense. We also win when Cam hits 3s...would love that to become more regular.

The Bridges stuff is interesting. It’s a little more small sample size, but evidence that we win when Bridges is more aggressive and tries more things. Would love to see that more too.

I'm not sure, but Wallace and Deke both won DPOY 4 times. Garnett was All Defense 12 times. Those guys were some of the best to ever do it. Ayton is currently a "good" defender. Lots of room in between.
