Just as aside. I refuse to reply to 1tins Booker thread. If he wants to keep pushing it to the top of the list, he is going to have to do it himself.

I was just thinking that these Suns are the opposite of the SSOL Suns in both construction--this team is not top-heavy--and philosophy. You can't win without scoring more points, but I am used to people disingenuously and patronizingly saying that as a conversation stopper. They ignore that there are two approaches to scoring more points: just score more points orrrrr...prevent the opponent from scoring more points, which logically causes you to outscore them.
The SSOL Suns were a one-note team who tried to outscore the opponent by...outscoring them. If they saw that the opponent was still standing, they'd think "uh, oh..." and respond by...trying again to outscore the opponent, because they weren't designed to do anything else.
This team tries to outscore an opponent largely by preventing it from outscoring them, and I have to tell you I enjoy it at least as much.

Brooks on seeing Booker go to the Locker Room, "I got more shots in me." LOL. Sounds like something EJ would say.

This team outscores by regularly getting more possessions than their opponents. That team outscored by regularly getting more easy baskets than their opponents.
But this team also adds more open threes through ball movement. This team is deeper. It plays fast but adds the D. However it does not have the same top end talent.

The Suns need to find another big guy too although I like the addition of Isaiah Livers.

Isaiah Livers is what I expected out of Nigel Hayes-Davis who's been a bit disappointing given his accomplishments overseas.

Weirdly he has been better on defense than offense, which is what I thought he was good at looking at his stats. He misses his threes by such a wide margin. Like if one of us was thrown into an NBA game.

He was a great pick-up. Plays disruptive defense and disciplined offense, he already earned a vet min. contract, IMO.Did Suns Find Another Gem in 2-Way Player?
