Preseason Game 2: Jazz vs Suns

Revived · Post #61 » by **Revived** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 5:24 am

Len showing his true potential. Only thing he could have done better was maybe rebounds. Exceptional game.

Knight takes some really questionable shots. Like I don't even know why he's even thinking about shooting some of the ones he takes. He also seems really easy to trap for opposing defenses in pick and rolls. Hope he figures it out.

Leur still impressed me today even though his stat line wasn't that great.

I know its only the 2nd game but this is a bit worrisome about Booker

Meanwhile Goodwin

Again, its only pre season and he's a rookie so he probably starts to hustle more but yea.

Kieff is back. And love Chandler's energy and appreciation for his teammates. That alone is probably worth how much ever we're paying him.

Not worrisome at all IMO. Booker is in every sense of the word a boy among the men. This is only his second game with NBA competition. Not surprised if he's a little intimidated.

Goodwin is a hard worker. Im baffled why some suns fans hate him.

Not sure hate is the word. Not convinced he will ever pan out is closer.

I remember the draft analytics guys really being down on him for his bad steal/block/rebound stats and it was why I didn't really want to draft him at the time. Hopefully he grows out of it.

I mean, for the sake of the team's development, it would be nice if Archie outplays Booker. Lets hope this keeps up.

Keef 3/3 from 3 - whoa. Did not see that coming. If he shoots close to 38%, that's a season-altering development.

Len looked like a different player out there.

As of yet, I've not seen what I was hoping for out of TJ. Still waiting for him to break out.

Overall, we beat the prognosticators' darling squad handily. Gotta love it. I don't think it's too early to think we're a playoff team.

I'm still low on him too... he's a Nik Stauskas clone and people reach for shooting stars all the time.
But he was probably our BPA at the time, so we really had to draft him.

I have seen the game now and I am very happy with our team until the moment. Good defense and our entire roster is playing really well ( only Teletovic without touch but he will be fine ).

Markieff played terrific and Len was very active and effective.
2-0 and counting.

Suddenly 2 games in we are getting scared about Booker? It's his rookie year. The draft isn't McDonalds, people! Maybe the NBA should hire some of you guys as scouts since you already know about how Booker is going to progress. It's Archie who will soon be on the bubble, and even then he's still 21 and we knew he was raw coming out of college.

Instead of wanting results now...maybe you should, you know, wait.

I'm confused why people would be scared about Booker.. I think he's look great the first two games.

So it came to Booker's diving for loose ball now? Come on. Just enjoy these 2 wins and move on.

No marcus morris=a more at peace quieter better Markieff Morris.

I don't understand you guys saying you want him out of here. He can ball he's on an 8M dollar a year contract.

We need an upgrade probably we needed Aldridge but Markieff as a super sub 6th man of the year candidate year in year out heck ya sign me up.

In the future I'd love to see Booker take over as the starting 2 guard and see Bledsoe and Knight play apart from each other and have a 3 guard rotation where Knight leads the 2nd unit with Morris and Len. Talk about a bench

I can't wait until Booker is starting next to Bledsoe, that is a perfect back court. I bet it will be the most productive this coming season.

If markieff is done with his antics

Knight will be the most talked about player on this site in terms of bad.
The contract and his play style is going to get to ppl as the season goes along

Len needs some badass nickname for us to use after games like this.
Keef played great but I'm still not convinced if he wants to stay in Phoenix or just trying to raise his trade value. If he really wants to stay I hope he would apologize for his comments.
Expected more from Warren.
Knight was disappointing.
Mirza so far looks like he may fall out of rotation.
Didn't realize that Weems got so many assists and rebounds.
