Punish that imaginary defender Dragan! Make them pay, catch some bodies! Imagine you are dunking on Draymond or KD!

Not a lot of Bender fans left in these parts, I guess. I knew he was 2-3 years out when we drafted him so I'm still on board.
Go Suns!

I haven't given up on him. I'm just annoyed with the BS social media stuff like that. r/suns eats that up, so I guess i get it from the Suns perspective.

He was still one of the youngest players in the league and does have some undeniable skills, so I'm still on board.

Had no interest in that dude when he was picked, just hoping he's useful for something at this point.
Love, Hurts.

I'm a big time Bender Defender. In a year or two when Bender is a vital part of our rotation, I will happily say that I told you all so.

I hope Bender becomes something. It would be huge for the team. I'm all for giving him an opportunity.

I'm done with Chriss though.

I have high hopes yet for Bender. He has the tools. He can shoot, move, pass, and defend. He can even block a shot or two. He needs a specific role to fill that does not just leave him standing in the corner. I hope Igor can bring something out of him.

I do think that Dragan and Quese are trying to occupy the same space. We are going to have to make a choice soon because they are stunting one another's growth.

I do think we have the ideal coach to get something outta Bender.

Almost from day one I gave up on Chriss, something about him irked me big time ( besides, I wanted Dragan and Sabonis all along). Bender in the other hand, big supporter and still think he could be something special

I think Chriss could be decent, but he is dependent on having a great pg to make it easy for him.

Is not about skills, something on his personality got on my nerves, and then when Watson started spoon feeding him while marginalizing Bender, I couldn’t watch him anymore. Maybe it wasn’t his fault, but still. The technicals, the tough guy act... even when he does well on the court can’t stand him, all I can think off is that he is increasing his trade value.

More info on Jamelle McMillan. He was a guard for ASU.

Even more on McMillan. He's moving from player development with NO to the bench in Phoenix:
