Didn't see him but box score watching and he had 6 TOs and 5 PTS, which looks awful. What did I miss from not seeing him?

Vision/defense, which aren't going to show up in the boxscore. He plays with a defensive intensity that no one else on the roster does which we sorely need. Obviously has a long way to go and it didn't help that Pop didn't give him a ton of burn but he has plenty of time to get those reps in

Homer af but Edey is going to have a nice long career as a rotation big. He doesn't look out of place at all on an NBA court.

I like that he's being eased in, less trial by fire. Time's ticking, on the other hand, for guys like Branham and Wesley so they got more burn. Those contract pick ups are looming...

Micic looks really overweight. For a moment I mistook him for David Roddy...

It's preseason against the Bulls but Mobley looks like he heard the haters.

Wow the suns really nailed their draft picks…. Due for some good breaks after terrible drafting last 5 years

Agreed

iPhones allegedly can’t be hacked but I am sick of having some dodgy virus box pop because I have fat fingers

If Sengun has fixed his three stroke (a tall ask, but the one he made looked obviously improved), Green continues his defense from the end of last season, and everything else merely goes according to schedule, this team can dream of fifty wins and home court advantage - this season. Exciting times for Rockets fans.

In most places I look, most people have Houston finishing 9th-10th in the west. I think we'll be closer to 6th. I really love where this team is headed.

"For this whole thing to have even made it this far is surreal," another Western Conference executive said. "Analytically, if you just had the numbers on a page and had no name attached to it, he doesn't project in any way, shape or form to be an NBA player. His measurables don't project as an NBA player. There's literally nothing about him on paper -- if no name is attached to it -- that makes this make sense."

Pretty much exactly my thoughts.

If Ryan Dunn keeps shooting the ball the way he has, he will have a big role on this Phoenix team.

I'm calling it now.

Nice (pre-season) game for Risacher. Hopefully it will boost his confidence and his team mate confidence in him.
