Might go back and watch for Dunn's offensive performance. Pretty fitting that Bud couldn't/wouldn't get Bol or TyTy into the last home game. He's made just about every wrong move all year.

Good riddance. I usually don't like to hate on players, but I thought Tyus was not good this season. He was not as advertised. He did not run the offense well or limit team turnovers and was utterly terrible defensively. I mean epically bad; like no effort, didn't care bad. I was very, very disappointed. CG, the G-league 2-way player, outplayed him. To give him SOME credit, he did hit the open 3 more consistently than anyone else on the team.

Loved Dunn's confidence to keep shooting after a slow start. Plus he showed some other offensive moves. I loved when he took it at mouse in the house Chris Paul. Excited to see him grow with us next season. TyTy did get in for the final minute. Will probably get a lot of time on Sunday. But like I said elsewhere, not getting Bol in on fan appreciation night when they were chanting for him was not a good look.

I also thought Tyus Jones' comments about frustration and not being used as he would have preferred was interesting. Probably the whole get it over half court and force it to KD or Book horrible offense.

[Mori Chu]

Nice to see Dunn have such a good offensive performance. I watched about half of this one. It is actually mostly very pleasant to watch our team when it's just Book plus hard-working young guys who try to play defense and hustle.

As for Tyus's comments, well, he doesn't deserve to start. It will be mutually beneficial for him to leave the Suns after this season.

[Superbone]

I just don't think it was all Jones fault if he wasn't being used properly but yeah, he was still a liability on defense.

[LazarusLong]

Jones is an OK sixth-man/bench player combo guard who is careful with the ball and can hit threes. As others have noted, he's a cipher on defense.
Management expecting him to become an ersatz Chris Paul or even Ricky Rubio was serious misjudgment, or panic move.
It's like getting drunk at a bar, hoping to meet someone, and trying to convince yourself at closing time that one of the ugly girls is Miss Right ...
