I'm a huge Zach Lowe fan, one of the more objective NBA pundits around, and he just had a nice long segment on the Suns yesterday. Starts around the 1:25 mark (can select chapter for it)

Come on Ouchie, you can't tell that for sure on a tv broadcast, especially when you are arguing about a single inch or two.
I’m not trying to argue. Just an observation. And I do you think you can somewhat gauge guys heights. We see them next to a large number of guys who we loosely “know” (again, it’s based on reporting) their heights. You can kind of figure out who is taller than whom-ish.

Interesting. Both he and Royce listed as you state. Look at the on the court and there’s no way they are their stated heights.
Yeah they aren't.

I think the real heights are like
Brooks 6'6 or 6'7
O'Neal 6'4
Williams 7'0
Dunn 6'8
Oso 6'10
Flemming 6'7

One of my favorite quotes in life. It applies to more than sports.

"Just taking what the defense was giving us." Collin Gillespie

Mark Williams up to this point has been absolute HIGHWAY ROBBERY for the Suns. If this guy proves he can stay healthy for an entire season? He is everything I was hoping we would get out of Ayton. Notice how nobody questions Williams work ethic even when he doesn't have a great game. That alone made the trade worth it.

They are approximately their stated heights with shoes on. So in fact Brooks for instance is 6'7" on the court, but he is around 6'5" without shoes which we will rarely see ourselves.

I agree, do whatever Ott wants. I also am happy with every player on the roster. I don't believe there is a single player on the team playing below realistic expectations, a clear tribute to Ott.

However, we are going to need another big that can rebound and score inside to handle a long playoff run. Richards is gone anyway, and we have a glut of wings especially when/if Green is healthy.

I wouldn't make trade for the sake of making a trade, I wouldn't trade for a headcase or a bad contract, but if the right deal presents itself do it.
I would not go that far.

Nigel Hayes Davis is way below expectations, Dunn is below expectations, Maluwach has to be put in that category, and so is Nick Richards.

Overall an excellent performance by the roster, but it's not perfect.

I didn't even know Nigel Davis was on the team lol....Man Man was always going to be a project, and we had no idea what to expect from the rookie.

As for Dunn, I thought about him, but I wonder how much time he has spent with the starters, "Booker" this season compared to last. I don't know the answer, but it feels like his role changed. Less playing time with the starters could significantly impact his numbers.

I agree about Richards, though his minutes were cut from 23 last season to 9mpg this season, largely due to Williams.

To be fair, there's no such thing as "perfect" in the NBA. Maybe OKC of last year came close, but that's rare.
