Fun game to watch, I liked it.

Booker played a very good game, he looks ready to begin the season.

Josh Jackson was solid on both sides of the floor, he is a sure thing.

Bender played his best game as Sun IMO. It was fantastic to watch his three point attempts go in, and he put the ball on the floor way more than previous games. He made a few great passes too.

Ulis looked absolutely healthy, he has played great the last two preseason games. He is sooo smart with the ball, I love watching him.

Len...what I need to say about him? He played a terrific game. 20 points and 7 blocks...he was a beast inside.

Hopefully he continues to play like that on the regular season because this Len is the one that all of us want as our starting C in the next future.

Nice adjustement by Len tbh.
He's starting to get comfortable going for the reverse layup (unblockable), when he gets deep position in the post.

Seems like he finally found his go-to-move.

Seemed to me that Bender and Len clearly outplayed Chandler and Chriss - except that the starters all looked phenomenal to start the game. Great to see Bender have two straight hot shooting games. The coaching staff is going to have to figure out how to help him with those free throws, though... yeesh!

This game was good but can't forget who this was against.

Imo all this proved is that even the very worst teams in the NBA are much, much better than any non NBA team in the world.

Bender's shot looked much better. Not as flat.

Cause we beat one of the worst teams in the Australian league?

Not too sure we could beat Real Madrid, for example.

Yeah, I was thinking the same. Beating by far the worst team in that league is far different than some of the best euroleague teams. I wouldn't say we were much, much better than any other team outside of the league by any stretch.

But the opponents made no difference in whether Bender hit open shots or not. Bender's ball handling skills are amazing for a player his size.

They're good but I don't think they are amazing. When talking about bigs, players with good handles that come to mind is Towns, Griffin, Cousins or a Jokic. I don't think he has advanced ball handling skills right now.

Yeah, I wouldn't compare him to the very top big men in the league, but they are good, particularly for a 19 year old.
