Suns Summer League, Las Vegas, July 10th- 20th, 2025

Minus the quarter ending three, Fleming has looked lost all game.

 

[Proximo]

Oso looking rough tonight too.

Nique Clifford is making the Suns look raw, which they are.

Unfortunately true. The St. Joe competition level may be an issue.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Kings want the diamond rings presented to the winners of summer league.

 

[Hoop Head]

Devin Carter looks like a dude who takes pickup games at the YMCA too seriously but he has had a good showing in SL so far.

 

[Proximo]

That was really a pretty bad half. Minus some nice plays from Dunn, there was not much to like at all.

This is Fleming's first summer league game. Khaman worries me more.

 

[Hoop Head]

That hairline on Carter is more frustrating to see than that miracle hoist to end the half.

Dunn only one showing up tonight. Ugly basketball to watch. I guess no blood no foul. In the regular season half these guys would have fouled out by now

 

[Proximo]

This is Fleming's first summer league game. Khaman worries me more.

Not me. He's 18, and he's a center. Centers don't have to do nearly as much. He just needs some time to develop.

His athleticism or lack thereof is what concerns me, not his play.

 

[Mainstreet]

Kings score right over the top of Khaman.

 

[Hoop Head]

His athleticism or lack thereof is what concerns me, not his play.

This is probably the lowest level of competition he's played against in some time. Duke practices were likely more competitive than SL.

 

[Proximo]

Suns getting worked. Kings D has totally shut us down.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Dunn looking good. I think he is making a jump this year.

Maluach using his loose handle too much.

Yup. Maluach doesn’t have good enough handles to do what he’s trying to do in summer league thus far

 

[Proximo]

His athleticism or lack thereof is what concerns me, not his play.

What made you think he was particularly athletic? You could clearly see in his college highlights he wasn't.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Oso looking rough tonight too.

Dunn is only one showing any game tonight. They all stink thus far.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

This is Fleming's first summer league game. Khaman worries me more.

Guys you were expecting waaay too much from a very raw freshman. Hopefully this will allow you to recalibrate expectations for the regular season. Maluach likely isn’t even the backup to Williams to start the season.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

He’s not unathletic, he’s as I described, like a young deer. Kind of awkward and still figuring out his body. They have him playing far from the basket right now which isn’t doing him any favors as it accentuates his still raw skills.

 

[Hoop Head]

Maluach and Oso sharing the court is a recipe for disaster on offense and defense. Oso can't shoot, Maluach has to play outside or clog the inside. On defense they aren't much better as Oso is far too used to being the C on the floor and it looks like a broken zone out there.

Depends what you define athletic as. I don't consider anybody that doesn't have at least a 35 inch vert as athletic.

oso powo fowo fosho

Yeah no way it works.

It’s all relative. He’s a 7’2 center. I’d say he’s athletic for his size.
