I know its only 2 preseason games but the vibes around this team so far just feels different than last year. Hopefully this holds true as it could be a fun year for us
Let's hope. I think they will be improved, injuries (hopefully) notwithstanding. Better PG play will make a huge difference.

Ryan Dunn has made five threes thus far in preseason.

He is going to be forced to keep putting them up. He has the stroke. It is looking like he will be at least an average 3 point shooter.

Jalen Bridges looked worse. Two straight games of awful minutes. Small sample size, but not very encouraging.
With the way Oso, Dunn, and Gillespie are playing, I am not sure I care. We aren’t carrying four rookies on the team. I know Gillespie isn’t a rook but I think of him that way.

Having clearly defined roles, having a clearly defined offense, having some young guys that are there as more than just a prayer or gimmick.

Bradley Beal talks about the players and the game tonight.

It's shoot the ball.

Chemistry with Beal and Oso good so far. I really liked this backdoor cut and pass. Good read from Beal on the defense, good delivery by Oso:

Oso's passing has been uncanny. It's almost like the Suns could use him as another point guard.

Beal enjoys talking, so we get some insight into the game, which otherwise we might not have. Bradley knows he is going to be shooting a lot of threes.

So do we have room for both Frank The Tank and Gillespie? How many open roster spots do we have?

If only one I have to go for Gillespie, because you know, the future. But I'd love to have Frank in the rotation this year. We're weak up front and he does a little bit of everything.

The Suns have only one open roster spot but Gillespie is on a two way contract so it's possible to keep both. Still, I would like to get Collin on a long term contract. I do expect the roster to change before the trade deadline.
