The above tweets suggest Bridges' developed a hitch in his shot after leaving Villanova.

A lot of guys developed bad habits under Igor Kokoskov. I wasn't kidding when I stated my belief that last season set the team back up to five years...

Dual meaning? BLM or just The Suns who are underdogs?

Black Lives Matter

I figured that was his intent. I found that it fits the Suns, too!

doesn't really fit the suns, IMO. a team that hasn't made the playoffs in almost a decade and wouldn't have again this season if it played out naturally hasn't earned any kind of respect.

Which is exactly why you'd need to ask for it!

Man I do not understand the grant love. He’s a subpar rebounder. He’s not a power player. Good athlete though.

Agreed. Generally, you have to overpay to sign free agents, Grant is yet another fringe starter that I really would rather not overpay for. He is an okay outside shooter and, statistically, his pluses stop there.

Deandre Ayton is shooting 3-pointers. Reportedly has more arc on his shot.

Deandre has nice form on the 3s he is shooting in practice and seemingly doing it without much effort.

It's not surprising the Suns best 4 man lineups include Bridges and Oubre at forward.

From Duane Rankin at azcentral:

"He can be huge," Suns point guard Cameron Payne said after Sunday's practice. "He actually surprised me on how well he can shoot the ball. His shooting is off the charts. His length. He's always in the passing lane. Always able to contest shots. Always able to get blocks. His intelligence on defense is great. He talks. He gets into the ball. He's actually a great player. If anyone says different, I can argue about it. I see it every day in practice. He's so versatile offensively and defensively."

Now that sounds like the Payne we saw at Murray State. I don't know where he's been but I hope the new version sticks around awhile.

So, are Rubio and Baynes still not there? Are they out for the season?

Suns are not giving out this information. It involves privacy concerns.

I'm not aware of either practicing with the team. The same with Lecque, Owens and Okobo.
