Re: Preseason Game #1 : Phoenix Suns @ Portland Trail Blazers
Scrub time notwithstanding, these guys are playing some really good ball. Our interior D is great, we're challenging the boards, and sharing the ball. Daniels on fire. Len playing a very solid game.

I think something is clicking for Len. If he keeps progressing this season, I wouldn't mind re-signing him.
Think we could just give him Tyson's contract?

Probably not much based on the offseason. Unless you think one preseason game changed all that.

Re: Preseason Game #1 : Phoenix Suns @ Portland Trail Blazers
I will say, all of our bigs need to work on screens. Len just flung his arm out there which could've been a foul. Bender and Chriss hardly ever make contact while screening.
SHAZAM!
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Re: Preseason Game #1 : Phoenix Suns @ Portland Trail Blazers
Mike James is so interesting because he's such a classic scoring PG - wouldn't trust him to run an offense BUT he has some really really nice passes in him. Those two to Len were pretty af.

Re: Preseason Game #1 : Phoenix Suns @ Portland Trail Blazers
Len still looks awkward on his body control but it's almost like he's using it to his advantage now, keeping people guessing with his flailing limbs. If he can do this consistently, I'll be impressed.

Mike James did a pretty good job controlling the ball.

Sub in Ulis and this would be a solid bench unit.
