I do not like Bender or Chriss, but I do like Jackson. Chriss is big and dumb, and Bender will look great on a play then look like he has never bounced a ball on the next play. |

DSJ has a little bit of Westbrook in his game, both the good and the bad |

His missed dunks have been some of the best highlights of SL  |

The scary part is that he's already hitting the NBA 3-ball like a pro so far in summer league. If that translates to actual games, we're looking at Westbrook/Wall/Rose-lite with a more reliable jumpshot, which is downright terrifying. For our sake, I hope he doesn't keep hitting that shot
Thankfully we drafted Lonzo, otherwise this draft would've been full of regrets. I think his style of play is more conducive to team success anyway, though DSJ's ISO scoring ability will be valuable in its own way. |

He's hilarious. You see him drive, and you're like "how the heck is he going to finish around this big", and then all of a sudden his head is at the rim and his nuts are in the big man's face |

Lonzo, DSJ, Mitchell, and Tatum have been the most impressive guys IMO. Jackson has been good too, but his jumper is still a work in progress.
Lonzo and DSJ are probably up there for SL MVP, especially since both teams are still playing |

I'm sorry but Caruso will be the SL MVP (Most Valuable Pope)  |

Agreed we should actually try and win this thing and let Ingram play. Could be the biggest confidence booster of the year for these guys.

Well the report was Ingram was likely not going to play more that 3 games anyways. I doubt he comes back. On the other hand Hart had a mild sprained ankle and I am hoping he might be able to come back.

The only players I like from that suns core is Ulis and Jackson
Don't really see anything special from Chriss and Bender as of right now. |

He's a good, possibly great one day, scorer. The efficiency isn't really there yet, though, and he's not even close to the franchise player the Suns and national media are billing him as. Defense will probably always be an issue for him. |

Wish we had 5 picks in this years draft. So many really solid if not great players will be coming from this class.
Love Lonzo, but I also really loved Jackson and DSJ is looking like a steal....stupid Knicks. |

Watched a little philly/chi and had to turn it off. Neither team looked like they wanted to play a game. |

They said the next game would be at 7pm Saturday a couple times during the broadcast after the last game. |

Really surprised how comfortably Bradley looked shooting from 15'-19' in the last game. Quick release for a center. I think that could develop into 3-point range in no time.
He runs a different kind of motor than Thomas Bryant, and both guys need to work on their explosiveness in traffic.
