Ya, but how do you really feel?

Because I feel like you could just turn it off and do something else if you hate it this much.

Totally forgot we signed Ronnie, yeah no roster spot for Mickey then. Guess those career shooting numbers of 37.4% from the field and 29.1% behind the arc were irresistible :lol:

For a third string point guard? I think he was picked up for his defense. Plus when he played the correct position for us, he ran the point pretty well. Is 1.6 steals a game in 22 mins alright for a third stringer? Bledsoe had the same for us(best of our team) in 32 minutes. When you you look at a per 36, Price's steals went to 2.3.

I would like a third string PG with the capability to run a proper half court offense with playsets rather than just rely on iso ball and dish and drive kickouts. But thats probably asking for too much

If Goodwin learns how to finish, he can be something special. Also, HIT YOUR DAMN FTs, ARCHIE. Doesn't help to get to the line every time you drive if you can't hit FTs.

Absolutely. If you are that pesky, you can always have some kind of role. I think he would be good for the fan base to have a local guy too.

We should have traded up for Harrell in the second round. Would have been better than Leuer. Also is Christian Wood playing for the Rockets?

He's having a tough game. Still looking for his first 3.


He just needs to adjust to NBA range. He's on target and off the front of the rim on all his threes. It will come.


I've noticed that. He rarely misses to the side, which imo is the best way to see someone miss if you are expecting improvement.

Booker has a long way to go if he even wants to think about cracking the rotation any time soon. He's comfortable in the midrange buts till needs to expand his range to the regulation NBA 3pter in order to become a reliable spot up shooter for spacing purposes. Then comes adjusting to the physicality of closeouts, getting separation off the bounce/ beating athletic wing defenders with dribble penetration to show he can be the complete offensive package. If his perimeter defense can hold up on the other end he should be fine but of course he was never asked to become a lockdown on the ball defender in Kentucky since WCS and KAT made up for any lapses with their interior presence

Warren has serious issues when he has to defend bigger guys.

He needs to hit the weight room.

Cool, for a minute there I thought you would foolishly say that Price didn't already prove he can run a half court offense here in Phoenix. Top poster on this forum? Really?

Not to push you further but it's "couldn't care less".

Now back to the topic, since you were clearly starting the jabbing. No retort on Price running the half set offense here in Phoenix? Do you not like Price? What? I just expect more from things that are labelled top.
