Suns sign Langston Galloway

[JCSunsfan]

Time to let Okobo go. I do not see why he should get any playing time at all with the present group we have.

 

[Proximo]

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

That was my mistake, I read it off the per 36 minutes I guess.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Worst 3 point shooters on the team.

1. D. Jones.
2. D. Ayton.
3. D. Booker.

Strictly raw stats.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns still have bi annual exception.

Nice. Might be worth it to let Okobo and/or Nader go and pick up insurance for back-up wing and/or center.

 

[Raindog]

They should have more depth this season than any Suns team going back to maybe the mid-90s.

 

[JCSunsfan]

I think I would let Nader go. At some point there will be a very good player that gets bought out.

Will probably be able to save that for next year. Based on the quality they have been able to get with minimum deals they should be able to get someone solid next year with that BAE.

I don't know. We aren't that deep at the 3 IMO (specifically if you consider Cam as more of a 4). Nader will provide some good shooting and solid defense on SGs and SFs.

If available, Dewayne Dedmon would be solid.

Or use it later if they have a need. I do like Dedmon.

Very much so, but I thought he was under contract already.

Earlier there was a report Dedmon wouldn't play for Detroit. I'm uncertain where things are now.

Detroit is going to waive him I hear.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

He got waived by Det on 11/20.

Suns have an open roster spot now that Okobo was waived.

Has Okobo been waived, or is that just speculation?

EDIT: Just saw the report. Confirmed. Addition by subtraction. Would be great if the roster spot went to a wing or a big.

Let's do it. Suns would have solid depth behind Ayton.

This would make the off season even better.

From what I can find Dedmon is a good locker room guy so he might be the type of guy Jones is looking for.

That being said he might be looking for a bigger role than he would get with us.

He would be back-up 5 and get rotation minutes right away. Doubt there’s a starting gig out there for him now.

 

[Suns_fan69]

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

I get that this is a highlight reel from a strong game, but I'm impressed by the speed of his release as well as the ability to attack close outs. The off the bounce game was better than I expected.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Nice video. He carried them in the 4th, too. Another clutch guy to put in at end of games situations on offense.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Probably wouldn't go over 15 mpg with us and I believe he was requesting a trade from ATL last year because he was only getting like 20 mpg.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Yeah, idk. I think I would bet on him to get minutes over Jones and Smith, at least to start.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Yeah, idk. I think I would bet on him to get minutes over Jones and Smith, at least to start.

That 15 mpg (maybe 15-18 depending on Ayton's minutes) is assuming that he is the primary back-up 5.
