Dario Saric confirms he had the coronavirus while he was out.

I thought this was a fun remark by Steve Nash... "I'm glad Robert is going to monetize our return."

Suns will increase fan attendance to 3,000 people starting with the Nets game.

Ty-Shon Alexander looking very good in the G-League through two games. I think he can be an NBA player.

Like that shooting stroke.

Man, it's nice to see Suns prospects in the G league that are showing something more than just being ultra athletic.

In a strange twist, you can actually access Zach Lowe's 10 things he likes/doesn't like on the Australian version of ESPN (or at least, i can from Canada). He gives Mikal Bridges some love here for his developing off the bounce game.

Ty-Shon looks like a player. He flashed his skills early on.

I'm not quite sure how he fell out of the second round but I will take it.

This is what Monty said about Jalen Smith.

By Kevin Zimmerman Arizona Sports:


“He’s a diligent worker,” head coach Monty Williams said. “I don’t think any young player understands how hard you have to work to be a good player in this league. He embraced that part, which we’re really pleased with. He doesn’t miss days to get work in.”

-------------------------------------------

“It’s all IQ and understanding how this game is played, ’cause you know your ability is there, but now you have to embrace a program and comprehend so much that’s being thrown at you while still playing your game,” Williams said. “We just feel like right now if he can pick up some of the vernacular, the nuances of certain situations, it’s going to help him get on the floor because you have to understand all that stuff as a young player.”

-------------------------------------------

“Getting stronger so he can take the pounding of playing inside the paint and guarding quicker guys,” Williams said, “but also the level of understanding, raising his IQ is going to be something that’s going to help him in the future get on the floor.”

I’ll believe it when he takes the court.

Love Nash. That "monetize" comment made me all happy inside. It's funny...... because it's TRUE.

In case someone wants to know more about Alicia Blanco.

"Phoenix Suns In-Arena Host, Alicia Blanco, is an Arizona native and a lifelong Suns fan! In 2009 she proudly represented Arizona at Miss USA" ....

On current pace for 46-26 record which is essentially equivalent of 52 game season in normal 82 game season. This is around, but high end, of my preseason target.

And seems like we are only trending up from there. Could very well be pushing for something close to 50-22 if the team keeps adding to their chemistry.

Atlanta and Collins couldn't agree on an extension so he is probably looking for big dollars.

The Suns will have similar concerns with Bridges and Ayton next season.

Interesting scenario. Really thought he’d be part of their base. High efficiency scorer. Shoots more threes, at a greater percentage, than I expected. High level athlete and okay rebounder. Don’t know much about his defense.

A high lottery pick is really a low asking price as well considering it might not end up that good.
