Oso with four dimes. Should have been easily twice that if we could hit shots.

Collin Gillespie is a player. He is serious about his game.

D. Lee played well. It's always been consistency with him. Hope he can keep it up.

Josh Okogie played very well with 15 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals. If he plays like this, someone will want him.

Okogie is a very hungry player, as is Gillespie, to name a couple.

I feel bad for Bronny. Dude is the epitome of the guy who needed 3-4 years of development and maturity in college. Instead, is fast tracked by his dad to fulfill his own personal dream. Completely unfair to the kid who got some pretty crappy advice. He’s not good and wont ever be good, and its not his fault

This guy would be easily worth double what he's paid now if he had a shot. He'd be a bargain if he could shoot like this all the time.

The Suns depth looks legit, especially at point guard. The Suns took this position seriously. What a difference from last season.

I'm not sure if he can't be that player. Okogie is still only 26.

What a pass from Oso to Okogie with a great finish.

The Suns have work to do on defense, per Bud.

I don't understand how the Nuggets let Collin Gillespie walk.

Hard to take anything all that serious from a preseason game, but I do like that Dunn and Oso saw minutes with the "stars", makes me think the plan is for them to be in the rotation early.

You are being to nice. He's not an NBA player, and 3-4 more years isn't likely to change that. He has unrealistic expectations on him just because of who is dad is. On the other hand he gets to make a few million dollars when better players never will. So I don't feel to bad for him.

It's interesting, Dunn is all defense, and Oso is all offense.

I think Dunn has the better chance of developing the other side of his game.
