Marquis Chriss's hustle and rebounding has impressed me the most. He's gone to the floor a few times to go after a loose ball and been fighting for the boards. It's great to see.
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Like what I"m seeing from all 4.

Booker looks good, missing some shots but that's fine. Seems to be working on his defense.
Bender is bigger than i thought, also moving well, missing shots but the confidence and form show that they'll eventually fall. He obviously needs to develop some more moves and counter-moves when he's handling the ball, but the skills are there.
Chriss is playing unselfishly, has good energy. I want to see him assert himself on offense more, or see them run more pick-and-roll with him. Definitely hasn't harnessed his athleticism yet.
Ulis looks great, in control and making good decisions, definitely the most ready [edit - most ready of the rookies].

Steve smith hit the nail on the head with the allan houston/booker comparison. I hadnt thought of that.

I'd be down with this being out bench unit. Len for Williams, but I want Ulis/Booker/Bender/Chriss playing together.
SHAZAM!

I like the intensity of the game a lot. Chriss and Ulis getting in Vonleh's face was great. These refs are soft as baby ****.

Bender's too tall for Layman, tries to gain some leverage but gets Layman's neck
