    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    This was the kind of stuff we heard about Booker when he was starting out. Some guys have that drive. They tend to be the better players.

    Suns Roster Post Draft 6-25-2026

    Supposedly, Gambo heard that Suns figure they may repeat the strategy from last season of Williams not playing back to backs. That is 16 games according to Gambo, that Maluach will start. Gambo feels they would keep Oso in at back up those games, and just start Man Man instead. Of course, if...

    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    What I have learned form watching the Suns is there's always new problems. The Suns play reaction to them all the time. One season your Centers implode, so you go out and sign a couple guys, and that season it's shooting guards going down or into slumps. It's always something. Each season has...

    Caitlin Clark

    Wow! This guy literally lived the Caitlin Clark thing, in the NBA. When Magic Johnson came in as a rookie, it was all Magic, all the time, even if Magic deferred to Kareem. The NBA needed publicity and they made a Magic versus Bird rivalry as big of a thing as they could make it. Those two young...

    The Wire

    It's one of those shows where the last episode or two tie EVERYTHING together. It's great stories on their own in the show, and at times they seem unrelated. Then at the end, it's like , WOW!

    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    I heard from Kellen Olsen on the radio, that Man Man was so angry he missed that many FTs in the final game, the next morning he got up 300 free throws. Supposedly, this was a decision on his own. No coaches told him to do it.

    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    I know he's just a rookie, but my bet would be Peat at Center. To get a fourth center you have to give up a spot. Fleming has played some small ball center last season in spots, too. We have 6 bigs who can play center. Who are you getting rid of, to get that 4th center who may never play? Plus...

    Suns Draft Koa Peat at #30 in 2026 NBA Draft

    Isn't that what Ayton said? Duran? Shaq? I've heard that line before. :) Just teasing you, mate!

    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    We have been chasing having a great center in our franchise for so long. No way you give up on Man Man's potential.

    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    That's the role of any fourth center though. It has to be a guy backing up from PF, or a guy so cheap they would be a Huntley or Fleming equivalent. You aren't going to see any teams with four good centers. Ten day contracts, G League, semi retired guys. If you really get desperate, you can...

    2026 Summer League

    I like preseason football games. Same reason. I like to see how the back ups and practice squad guys perform. Some of the guys on our summer league squad will end up on the G League team.

    2026 Summer League

    OKC has assets. They don't have to draft with them. They can Bill Belicek them by trading them for more future assets and just keep accumulating. They could also do a KD type trade, but moving 4-5 first round picks would be nothing for them IF they get the right Superstar to join their team. I...

    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    From what I was hearing on a podcast, the podcasters sitting courtside were most impressed with Maluach's vocal command of the team. Leadership with players after they fouled guys or got techs, telling them next play, let's go. They said when you go to those gym's in summer league you can hear...

    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    True, but we have CJ Huntley on a two way. Plus, both Huntley and Fleming are playing the role of "break in case of emergency" fourth center spot, which hardley plays on most teams anyway.

    2026 Summer League

    There's already been multiple posts on X about how the team plus/minus was double digit positive with Man Man on the court versus double digit negative with Man Man off the court. Now we are pulling Peat and Fleming, too! I'm thinking the cupboards are bare. LOL. Probably SA is pulling their...

    Jalen Green 'Preciation Thread

    Bullets = insensitivity to gun violence That's why they changed it. Remember, when they changed their name to the Wizards it was way before Harry Potter. I remember almost everyone back then blaming that name change on racial insensitivity, since white supremacist leaders are "Wizards." The...

    Will the Suns win more games this year than last? (2026-27 edition)

    Plus part of the chemistry for the good, is Peat, Man Man, and Fleming. How much of a role will they get with Ott calling the shots? That could hold down the wins, too. We just don't know what minutes people will get yet.

    Suns Roster Post Draft 6-25-2026

    That's why I was excited about Summer League. Fleming and Man Man have built chemistry through G league play. Koa Peat just stepped in like he played with both these guys in G League last year. The three played off each other and set each other up for threes and dunks! LOL. This front line has...

    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    Burns and Kellen Olsen were talking about this. That trade can look really good in hindsight, especially how the first year with Durant ended for Houston.

    Suns draft Rasheer Fleming with the 31st pick

    In one of our Summer League games this year, they showed him standing there all skinny at 195 in a photo from his first summer league, and talked about him changing his body. Like I said, I hung around Bodybuilders, and going from 195 to 225, let's say. Those are the easier pounds to pack on...

    Suns draft Rasheer Fleming with the 31st pick

    They were talking about that in a podcast I was listening to. Supposedly, Fleming was the only guy that slowed this guy in Summer League. They waived it off as, "well, it was a second year guy guarding him." I was like, that's a 250 pound big staying in front of that dude!!

    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    Man Man has that Alpha confidence. Rasheer is more a rythm player who needs to get in a groove. Peat has that Barkley, I want to mix it up mentality. It's their mental outlooks that define their play right now. Maybe as Fleming gets more confidence over time, he'll get more aggressive. Man Man...
