Final game in Vegas for the Summer Suns who are on a 2 game winning streak! Let's see if they can finish strong against the Kings. Looking for more positives from Oso, Dunn and Bridges.
Go Suns!!!

I’m interested in how Wong and Franks do as well…right now they’d be my top contenders for our final 2-way slot

Looks like we held him out…Bridges shooting well again…he might be good.

Bridges is a good pick. Has some attributes that could contribute

No Dunn in this one so Bridges got the start. Different dynamic in the starting lineup having a knockdown shooter vs an athletic defender. Guys seemed to be looking to get him shots or at least knew where he was which was a good sign. Oso with some slick passing again and making all the right plays on offense. Legit point-forward/point-center potential. Still needs some work defensively as he doesn't provide any resistance at the rim. I don't want to say he's soft but he's definitely not scaring anyone coming into the lane. The rest of the team was about the same - last game of SL and a little bit of lolly gagging and getting end of bench guys some run.

I do worry about Oso at the 5 defensively…but if he ever figures out how to shoot, he could be a steal as a small ball 5, or playmaking 4.

I don't think he scares anyone in the post, either on offense or defense. He might be ok as a small ball center in spurts but he will get killed in that role.
Why not simply use him as a PG? His fluidity and handles are better than I expected and his court vision is just as good as advertised.
