Phoenix Suns basketball hasn't been this fun to watch since we were successful in the 1st season under Hornacek/DragonBlade
Even if we had lost this game, I wouldn't have been too disappointed. We were still competitive, we were making plays(!!!), the ball was moving and our young guys are developing in front of our eyes. This is what rebuilding *should* look like

Great comeback win when it looked like all momentum was lost.
Booker, 2nd half Warren, DRAGAN BENDER and Mike James were beasting outchea. Love it

These wins here and there are good to atleast give the youth motivation, its great for hunger!
And the Suns atleast aren't the dumpster fire everyone else are claiming to be.... just a small fire at this point.

These guys are young and its going to change from game to game who plays well, Chriss will have his games, Bender will have his, and Jackson his. The whole love/hate from game to game is a little ridiculous this is a long season please let these guys play and learn for another year or two before you want to throw them into every other trade after a bad game.

OK. I will say it. This team sort of feels like the old Suns did just after they traded for KJ, West, and Corbin (before Barkley). Young. Hungry, and growing every game.

I know, I know not 100%, but if you watch some of the Bender highlights from far away and no glasses on he looks kinda like Porzingis...

Bender needs to do that more often (driving floater)... who can block him? Maybe Durant, Porzingis, Davis, Giannis... the rest will foul or let him do it.

Bender's dribble drive was sexy.

“He played unbelievable,” said Devin Booker, who finished with 32 points. “That’s why I call him Tony Buckets. He can score every which way. People say it’s floaters but it’s offensive rebounds, put backs, he can hit the three. He’s a natural born scorer.”
When Warren came in with 9:18 left, he told Triano, “Let me foul out.”
“He looked at me like, ‘Huh?’ ” Warren said. “I was playing like I had two fouls. I just wanted to come out aggressive. It was the fourth quarter and I wanted to win. Devin started out strong. We saw him getting kind of winded a little bit so I had to help by finishing the game strong.”

TJ needs to come out aggressive every single minute he’s on the floor.
He should easily be averaging 18+ ppg on his usual good efficiency as our #2 option

I think they are mostly completely different players. But offensively some of his moves look similar. I think he's quite a bit different defensively with higher upside though. I don't think KP is much of a perimeter defender and not nearly as quick as Bender.

2 assists away from being an efficient 25-5-5.
Went a bit more off the dribble in the 2nd half and missed a few.
Still 4 turnovers each of the last few games though. Hopefully he can cut those in half.

I think it's mostly due to Booker and James going off early and him getting in foul trouble and yanked, so he didn't want to pick up more fouls for awhile and then he mentioned he asked coach to let him foul out so he wouldn't play tentatively.

Warren plays off the ball and generally only 1-2 dribbles so shot creation isn't consistant.
