I thought he did the best job on Trae.ShelC wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2019 1:56 pmEhhh, he was 0-2 with 5 assists. Yea we were winning when he was out there, but I wouldn't say he affected the game to the tune of +22.
It’s a beautiful thing really. So many useful pieces.Indy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2019 10:59 amIn one year we have gone from starting g-league players to trying to figure out how to work in our #1 pick to a rotation that already includes a guy playing like a top 10 center in the game.LazarusLong wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2019 10:49 amI'm ok with Trae Young getting his ESPN highlight.
Suns won the game ... that's what counts.
It's a good sign that different players are major contributors on varying nights.
Williams will have an interesting dilemma when Ty Jerome is healthy, and is available to be integrated (gradually) into the rotation.
Another good "problem" will be providing equitable minutes for Oubre, Bridges and Cam Johnson.
Plus the return and redeployment of Ayton.
It's not quite an embarrassment of riches, but it's a far cry from the roster full of stiffs we've seen in recent years.
Alex Len was back to being terrible on Saturday, finishing with just five points, three rebounds, one assist and two turnovers in 18 minutes off the bench.
This is exactly where I am at, too.jonh wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2019 1:11 pmI would have loved to see these last few draft picks in a stable environment, with consistent coaches/trainers/GM. Imagine coming to the suns during McD's tenure with flaws in your game and try to improve under 3 different head coaches, all of whom had never coached before, and alongside other 19 year olds and old vets collecting a paycheck.
I don't hold any animosity towards Len or any Sun over the last few years whose last name isn't Morris.
I generally agree with this. I do think some of our guys like Len, Bender, Chriss, and Josh Jackson could have amounted to more in a system that was better suited to teaching them and breaking their bad habits. Bender in particular seems like a missed opportunity to me. But we all know we should have drafted Sabonis that year, anyway!jonh wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2019 1:11 pmI would have loved to see these last few draft picks in a stable environment, with consistent coaches/trainers/GM.

I blame McD more than the players. They just weren't very good and there were better options available. Obviously, Bogdanovich would have been much better for us than Chriss. I wouldn't blame all or even most of it on the environment.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2019 3:05 pmI generally agree with this.
