The Valley Suns beat the Santa Cruz Warriors in their G-League playoff opener.

On Thursday at 7 PM, they will play the Stockton Kings.

Ty Ty Washington had 40 points 6 rebounds and 9 assists.

If Ty Ty Washington can knock down the outside shot, he has a real shot at an NBA career.

IMO, that's what is keeping him out of the big league.

The Valley Suns fall to the Stockton Kings tonight. Still a great season, especially for Ty Ty Washington.

Is this some foreshadowing to the suns missing the play-in to the kings?

I've been thinking the Suns miss the play-in for a long time now.

Paul Jesperson will become the head coach of the Valley Suns replacing John Little who is now an assistant head coach for the Suns.

Little had a good year last year. Didn't know he was promoted as a main club assistant.

Kind of odd about Jesperson. He was hired away from the Suns by the Kings in May to serve as a player development coach this coming season but I guess he had a way to get out of that to return here.

Mentions is hiring in this article.

I hope the Suns didn't trade their only second round pick to get him back. ;)

Oh man that is so frightening but such an Ishbia move. I no longer want to Google Jesperson for fear of seeing that become reality.

I hope you know I'm joking, but one never knows these days what the Suns might do.

A little off-topic, but to carry the above story to fruition, the Kings are hiring Will Scott as their G League head coach.

TyTy is for sure. I can't recall where he landed. I think Bridges is also. The guys we have now aren't as polished but have much higher ceilings.

The Clippers snagged Washington. I'm not sure about Jalen Bridges.

TyTy and Bridges were polished? That's not what I saw.

TyTy was. Bridges is debatable. They spent a year in the NBA, TyTy had a couple years. Both would be more prepared based on experience alone. I wouldnt say they are both more skilled overall though.
