Suns.com: After 10 days in Vegas, how is it that you’re still standing?

Steve Kerr: 10 days in Vegas is about eight too many. There is a 48-hour rule in Vegas. You’re not supposed to stay any longer than that.

Suns.com: Have you seen "The Hangover" yet?

Kerr: (laughing) No, not yet.

Suns.com: What do you take away from this past week basketball-wise?

Kerr: It’s always good because your young guys get a lot of experience. You can see the growth and development in them over the course of the week.

Goran came on strong and played great. Earl showed what a good defender he could be. He did a really good job fronting, switching out and hedging. He’s a really, really good defender and that’s exciting for us.

Robin came in and bounced back after a couple of tough games. For those three guys it was a really good experience and they’re better players because of it..

Suns.com: Did anything surprise you about any of your players that you didn’t quite know about them coming into this league?

Kerr: We knew that Earl (Clark) was a really good defender from watching him on tape, but I’m not sure I knew he was that good defensively in terms of his awareness because Louisville played a lot of zone. You could tell that he was aware on the weak side of their zone, but I didn’t know man-to-man that he would be that good in terms of moving his feet and reading coverages.

Suns.com: When Goran (Dragic) played like he did against the Clippers on Sunday, where do you think he ranks among the point guards at the summer league?

Kerr: When he plays fast and when he plays aggressively he’s absolutely one of the top point guards here. The last few games he’s been really, really good and he’s tough to keep in front of defensively because when we're playing fast and he gets a head of steam he can really get to the rim and create some problems for the opposing defense.

Suns.com: Did you see any Louis Amundsons or diamonds in the rough here that you might be interested in as signing as a free agent?

Kerr: I thought Zabian (Dowdell) did a really good job. As our backup point he played really well and I though Jiri did a nice job shooting from the perimeter.

Although Josh Carter didn’t get a lot of minutes, I like him a lot. He came in tonight and he gave us a lift. He is a guy who has NBA three-point range, is smart, and has good length and size.

Same with Micah. I think both of those guys have a chance to make it. we’re excited about all of these guys and it’s fun to see them play. Hopefully, they’ll all get good opportunities to play professionally, whether it’s here or it’s in Europe.

Suns.com: What were your impressions of the way Taylor (Griffin) played here?

Kerr: Taylor did really well. He’s so athletic. His challenge is going to be shooting the ball better from the perimeter.

He was a four in college and he’s trying to play three here. We really didn’t play him much at the four here this week. That’s where he probably would have shined.

But we were trying to get Earl minutes there. But if Taylor is going to make it in the league he’s going to have to improve his shot.

But he’s a great kid, he’s been fun to be around, he works his butt off and he’s a great teammate. He’s got a chance, he just have to keep plugging away like the rest of them
