So when I went to the Suns vs. Wolves game last friday I got the opportunity to get into the building and see the players practice before anyone else was allowed in the building. When I was told I would get to see the TEAM practice it turned out to just be the rookies/newbies and Tucker, which kinda sucked, but anyways. When they were playing I noticed RoLo was limping severly with what looked like a knee injury. I thought it was just for that game so I didnt think anything of it. They left and then came back out later for pre-game warmups before doing the intro of the starters and he was hiding his limp but just going slow like he usually goes. So I have reason to believe that RoLo has been hurt for a good majority of this season and he just hides it when he is in front of the crowd. That was just very interesting to me and I thought I would share that with you all.
Also, getting to see the others practice I just thought I would give a little scouting report on them when they aren't in front of the flashing lights. Tucker looks GOOD and should/will be played more this season I think. Dudley has a very smooth shot and should have the opportunity to get more cracks into the lineup to show what he can do. Kerr is right, Dragic does look good when he is practicing, his handles are nice and his spin moves are top notch, but towards the end when others were shooting he sat next to dan majerle on the bench and started joking around and shooting trick shots with him. And finally, Amundson has freakish leaping ability, you all probably already know that, but this dude can dunk, like near J-Rich type dunk, if he wasn't butter fingers with the ball he could easily throw down some serious dunks in games. They were doing a drill where he would spin off a pick and get the ball for a dunk and all of the dunks were extremely impressive.

Ok just thought I would share all that with you guys, sorry it was so long but I just thought I would give you a little heads up on what went down before the crowds were in and the cameras were on.

Good to hear. However, I think I look good in practice too. I can shoot, spin and do what I want because there is no D out there. I think the kid has skills, but am not confident it transfers to the court and or his skills are not nba type. Some have it, others don’t. With what I have watched in the nba and highlight clips on youtube, im not sure he is going to amount to much in this league and will head back to Europe.

Lopez to me the last game seems more stiff then usual. I remember in college he moved better and seemed to play better. So a knee injury might make sense. I think he should sit and let it heal. I think it is hurting more then helping him right now.

I think tuck can play. The guy was a stud in college and has the skills to be a good player. Everyone bagged on his weakness of shooting and ball handling. I think he is a much improved shooter. Ball handler??? Idk, but J-rich is not that good with the ball either. Dudley is a good player too. I liked what he did in college. Smooth shooter and player. Plays hard but is not an athletic freak by all means.
