Suns sign Langston Galloway

[Proximo]

This is a great move, and makes me feel a lot better then having to rely on Cam Payne

 

[Proximo]

Shot 40% from 3 last year and scored 14 a game.

Not a great initiator, more of a shooting guard, but again gives us a good experienced option if Paul is out

Cam Payne and Jevon Carter are going to have big time competition for minutes with Galloway and Moore. Should bring out the best in all of them hopefully.

 

[JerkFace]

Another nice signing as a depth player. James has put together a solid bench.

 

[Proximo]

By the way Gambo thinks this means Okobo is gone for sure.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Galloway is a good shooter, but he’s less of a creator than Carter. Still need someone to handle the offense off the bench (maybe it’s Payne).

 

[Proximo]

Galloway shot 54% for the season 126 attempts for corner 3's

Should help create rim running space for our three athletic bigs

 

[Hoop Head]

Galloway, Moore, and Carter are all combo guards of sorts, capable of playing either guard spot and Payne can also play both guard spots but will be relied on more as a PG. I'm actually ok with the idea of two of those 4 on the court together as the 2nd units backcourt, especially with a good passing big like Saric to help with ball movement.

Yet another solid signing.

If Okobo is waived now I hope they can get another backup C, only an older backup with more experience than Jones or Saric.

Good point on Saric helping run offense and creating off dribble penetration when Booker and Paul sit.

Dedmon is free, I think.

 

[SunsTzu]

Jones has really gone all in on surrounding Paul, Booker and Ayton with complimentary players. Not really any redundancy in place if any of those guys are out. Should be be tough to stop though with all the shooting they have added.

 

[Yuma]

I remember him now that I see his picture.

I got my smaller shooting point guard. I like.

His stats with the Pistons last season were pretty good.

I don't know if Dewayne Dedmon is free but the Suns were rumored to be interested in him awhile back before he went to Kings.

I didn't want him as a primary acquisition, but as playmaking depth, I am all for it.

That's fascinating. They speculated he would take less than his salary last season to play here, but based on everything that's happened with the team, he's taking even less. This seems like a signing that would have made sense a week ago moreso than now.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Nice addition. If this team isn’t a good three point shooting team I don’t know what went wrong.

I am seeing we are loading up on D and shooting. Seems like when in doubt JJ signs another shooter just to be sure! Can't have too many on the bench when guys have cold shooting nights.

Even more than the actual percentage, the willingness and ability to take shots (the threat of shooting) is 100% improved this year. The offense will be more efficient than pre-bubble (112.6 points per100) or I will eat my hat

Maybe Galloway wanted to play here. He seems to be worth more than his contract. Some good players always fall through the cracks.

I like how the Suns are adding shooting and play making through through the use of more available smaller guards in the same mode of Patty Mills, Seth Curry, Trey Burke and JJ Barea.

It's Payne and Saric (out of the post) that will do most of the playmaking and I think they should do a solid job with it.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Didn't know who he was. He had a 32 point game for the Pistons last year.

Why are people saying he averaged 14 PPG? He averaged 10.3.

 

[Mainstreet]

I like the quick release by Galloway and that little floater.
