Suns dont need Len's mid-range shot, just waste of time. Keep him under the basket.

That draft was pretty pretty bad. Alex Len has more skills than Noel but his development is too slow. I blame our team because only at 2015 aquire one good Center ( chandler ) in order to help Alex.

Anyone here know Mickey? I see he went to Dobson HS.

Yeah he's one of my buddies. I went to Red Mountain but we've been friends since 10th grade.

Yes, I guess I remember you mentioning "I hope Mickey does well" earlier and I wasn't even sure who you are talking about. He is good.

I liked Noel, I thought opting for the defensive big over the skilled one was the best move. I understand the value of a stretch big, but when you're drafting a C, I want rim protection and rebounding first and foremost.

Booker trying to create some offense. Not his game at all. SMH

Great. I'm going to the game tomorrow and was looking forward to watching Len. I was at summer league last year but Len had broken his finger the day before.

Mickey has always been a frustratingly persistent on-ball defender, and he doesn't shoot often but if you leave him open at the 3 point line he won't even hit the rim, it's just money every time. He's also a very smart passer.

Harangody with a 3 and a great pass.

If McConnell keeps up his play, he'll get a camp invite. Looks like exactly the type of backup PG the Suns want, good on ball defense, and pass first mentality.

So you have superhuman luck as well.

What happened to Alec Brown? He was playing well in the first quarter. Stopped watching and it looks like he hasn't played since.

Barkley6 · Post #212 » by **Barkley6** » Sat Jul 11, 2015 11:43 pm

WOW. That was a NICE play from McConnell.

Post #213 » by **bwgood77** » Sat Jul 11, 2015 11:44 pm

Booker is surprising me. He looks way more ready than I thought. I know it is summer league and this obviously doesn't mean he will look this good against real nba competition.

Mickey with some GREAT passes just now.

If we are not going to get TJ McConnell, I'm happy with Mickey McConnell.

tsc, tsc Booker
hit those shots

I don't know, I was wondering the same, but while starting to respond, Mickey and Luke had a GREAT play. Man I kind of want Mickey and Luke on our team.

If Booker hit some of his wide open shots (missed 2) we'd be talking about how scary good he looked. I'm chalking that up to nerves and hopefully as he settles he's going to come into his game. After seeing him play, he should get some minutes when the regular season begins.

Not quite sold on Harangody, but McConnell looks legit.

Mickey should have always been in the NBA. The only thing he lacks is size at 6'0 but he makes up for it by being very smart and a good defender.

It's funny, I saw people saying they like Oubre more than Stanley Johnson. I mean, they are worlds apart. Oubre looks smooth and may have upside, but there isn't much of a comparison.

Yes, I don't like him as much (and Mike James and Harrelson have also looked good), but PF might be our position of most need, and he has shown he can hit the 3, so I was thinking I don't know what we have behind Kieff. I like Teletovic and hope Leuer is good, but don't know much about them. Harangody doesn't look great, but he looks like a smart player and a hard worker. And it wouldn't hurt to have some fightin irish.

Of the Summer league guys, who would you most like to see make our team?
