I think he gets to the rim well…he’d be a good finisher if he was bigger

I think I've seen enough Keon Johnson on the Suns.

This was not a very good showing for Keon…I thought he was interesting in the other games. I like him as a developmental guy though, 2-way would be ideal. I’d keep him over Ish, Bol, or Lee(Saban)

Goodwin has been just a joy to watch tonight. Hustling, savvy play, all over the place on defense, a few nice buckets. Not much more you could ask for. A bit like Okogie, things just go well when he's out there; plays off the stars well.
Metu seems comfortable out there and seems like he is earning a rotation spot with solid preseason play. I would not have predicted that, but here we are. I liked the Eubanks signing, but he has looked a bit overmatched so far. Maybe just needs more time to fit in.
Bol Bol getting a huge pop from the crowd.
Not a big Saben Lee fan, but I'd take him any day over Keon Johnson at this point.

Goodwin kinda reminds me of youngish Rondo, when he wasn't completely terrified to shoot.

Yeah, Rondo was a special passer.

I was about to post that Saben went to the “Josh Jackson School of Finishing at the Rim.”

Skylar Mays looks like a guy who could have a 10 year career in the NBA. Cory Joseph vibes.

Bol is fun, but I think that’s all he’s good for. I hope he gets some good burn against the Lakers as a going away present.

If Bol makes the team he will be the human victory cigar a la Pat Burke. If you're OK with accepting that he will be fun to watch. If you're watching him and wanting him to achieve some sort of level of potential you've created for him you will be disappointed and it will be a terrible viewing experience.
I am guilty of the latter but am trying to convert to the other.

My favorite part was when she brought up that Bol Bol isn't anything like his dad and she went on to say it was because his dad grew up in Sudan and he grew up in the USA and went on to make zero other comparisons.

Yep. I hate how Lee doesn’t distribute well and calls his own number most of the time.The Bobster wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2023 9:04 pmThe really need a real point guard when they have the bench players out there.
