    Deandre Ayton on Defense

    Fair enough. It could be two separate issues as well. Game is moving a little too fast, but he also needs to recondition himself to roll to the basket, take the ball to the hoop, etc. He's got issues, but I don't think any of them are issues that can't be fixed.

    Deandre Ayton on Defense

    That's a great point. Bender is a great example of someone who just has no instinct and overthinks every single move. He is very smart, but it doesn't seem to matter since he just has to think about what to do instead of just doing it. I think repetition will be the key with DA. He just HAS to...

    Yeah, we are saying the same thing.

    The Suns next big move

    Heh! That's like saying the Suns should trade Bridges for AD.

    Deandre Ayton on Defense

    I mostly agree, but I think I'd use different terminology. I don't think his basketball IQ is lacking. He does a lot of things that are very smart. I think his issue is that he thinks too much and lacks experience. He doesn't do Josh Jackson/ Marquese Chriss stupid stuff. He is a young kid and...

    The Suns next big move

    I agree. Dario is just solid. Nothing fancy, no athleticism, but he is a solid role player. He does, however, have to be paired up with a big, athletic Center. Suns need a backup point guard badly, and they need another long, athletic, PF/C. Then they need all around more shooting, but some of...

    Got distracted so I just now finished watching the 4th quarter. Overall it was an ugly win, but there was a lot of good stuff. Defense was solid, Ayton played very well. Bridges, Rubio, and Okobo scored a little as well.

    Two more back-to-back turnovers.

    I am pretty happy with DA tonight. He took a bad jumper, missed his rotation twice, and missed two free throws, but outside of that he has been outstanding.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2019-20 season

    Yeah, I said last year that Mikal was as good defensively as Booker is offensively. I think he is even better this year. He's had a series of games where he averaged double digits. I don't think he needs to b e a huge scorer, but he needs to get to the point where he is going to deliver 10-12...

    Hornets @ Suns Sunday game thread 1-12-20

    I am telling you guys, one of these games Ayton is going to tear it up... as in 30, 15, and 5. I'm probably gonna regret saying this, but I think tonight is the night.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2019-20 season

    That unit is amazing defensively. I hope Mikal can get his three-point shot back. If that lineup can add just a little more scoring, it will be scary.

    This is spot on, especially the last paragraph.

    Magic @ Suns Friday game thread 1-10-20

    Looking at some positives from last night, did you guys notice D-Book playing some serious defense? It was mostly average, but his effort was the highest I've ever seen. He was taking on Fournier on the perimeter, he took Vucevic in the low post, allowing Rubio to make that steal, he was...

    Well that was one ugly win, but I'll take it.

    I don't think we panic. We just have to wait and see how he develops.

    The Suns next big move

    I am not 100% sure what I am saying either, honestly. I don't seem to be able to articulate it well in my head, let alone type it out. I am just frustrated that we have a young kid who is playing as well as anyone can expect from a kid of his age and size, and 90% of the fans are frustrated with...

    Kings @ Suns Tuesday game thread 1-7-20

    No, I don't think Monty is the type that can pull that off. He'd be better of playing the "disappointed dad" card.

    The Suns next big move

    I hate that Ayton is getting all this from the fans. This is what happens when fans severely over-hype someone. The very same fans turn on him the second they realize their expectations were too high. By all objective measures, Ayton is ahead of where a second-year big man should be at the...

    Kings @ Suns Tuesday game thread 1-7-20

    I hope Monty tells them to start the game as if though they are down 20 points in the fourth quarter. That seems to be the only way to get them to play hard.

    Grizzlies @ Suns Sunday game thread 1-5-20

    Suns desperately need someone else to step up consistently. Booker and Oubre just can't do it all by themselves. Rubio is doing fine, but he is really not a scoring threat. His job is to keep the offense running so that it doesn't look like it last year's offense. Bridges has been playing well...

    Knicks @ Suns Friday game thread 1-3-20

    First off, great to see a win! As for Ayton, I think he looks more aggressive on defense. I wish he'd be more aggressive on offense, but I am happy with how he is playing. I try to remove Luka from the picture when thinking about Ayton's progress. Luka is so unique that you can't use him for any...

    I gotta give Ayton a lot of credit for his play in the 4th quarter. I was really impressed.
