^Already posted that, and thats great he's playing well but Dunn turns 23 before the season is over, meanwhile Bender won't be 23 til 5 years from now.
I really like Dunn too, would have been nice to take him and Bender... and Chriss.

Once Bender shots start falling we are going to be
I love he and Len's attitude on the court. Tough ass Euros! I feel so safe not having to worry about him being a mental midget.
His game compliments Booker's very well.

Re: 2016 NBA Summer League
Bender looked much more fluid with the ball than what i saw from overseas footage..i like that. Needs to make sure hes not swinging down at the ball so much on defense.

This was my biggest concern honestly. Len still has a way to go, sometimes he doesn't play as well as we know he could, but Bender is showing that "it" factor. I know it's only been one game, but damn, it was tough to judge how he plays just watching highlights of him in Europe.

Trying to watch this Celtics/Bulls game, but damn what a boring ass game. Portis is pretty big though.

Len's game is inconsistent but it isn't because he is afraid or lacks mental toughness, it's because he doesn't know which way is up with what he is for us.
Len is no punk on the court.

Over the past 2 seasons of Eurocup and ACB, basically, is past 40 games, he's shot 46.4% from 3. Nope, not a typo...46.4% 3PT%. Add in the 36 games prior (39.1%) for a total of 76 games, he was 42.3%. The season prior to that he was 39.9%.
So yeah, the kid has a nice stroke...wonder if he'll get on a bench somewhere this season?? There must be some art of his game...defense maybe, that's really lacking, because this kid (now 26YO) has quite a nice offensive game.
I mean, and yeah, I know it was only 3 games, but last year with Eurocup, he had 74% and 75% TS%/eFG%. His last 40 games, nothing lower than 62%. PERs all over 20.
Kid deserves a shot, IMO.

It's crazy to think that we got a solid 6-8 years before our guys(Book/Bender/Chriss & even Ulis) should be entering their prime.

What's his measurements? I could see him having some kind of roster spot somewhere in the league. At the very least, Sixers could take him.

That might have been the most exciting Suns game I watched in two years.

Not the prettiest game (not that SL ever is), but glad to be watching Suns basketball! Liked what I saw from most everyone out there.

He played well but it was just a bunch of made jumpers (some contested) and fast break buckets.
I didn't see a ton (yet) that makes me think, "man we really blew it". It's summer league.
If he's great then there's nothing we can do about it. Boston passed on him too.

This is still live for me, so I can rewind and watch the game from earlier, but not sure what happens if I refresh.
