Are the suns ... Good?

I'm ready to say they're no longer Bad, which is really something.

Seems like their moves to dump problem players/bad fits like Jackson and Warren really helped their chemistry.

Just watched some KAT tape and if his improved passing is for real, I can see him being the best offensive big man in the league next to Jokic (perhaps even better since his finishing and isolation scoring look to be more resilient and explosive to make up Jokic's advantage in creation). I don't see many teams stopping him tbh, he might churn out an All-Time offensive season that's only matched by very few big man centrepieces in league history.

Just a few years ago most GMs would have started their franchise with him. Not sure what happened last few seasons with him? Jimmy Butller?
ok fine

Yeah, I'm excited to see KAT play this season. From February onwards last season he averaged 28/12/4 on 50/45/80 shooting splits.

But three wings and a point guard can't coexist!!!

Cam Reddish has been super unimpressive since the two tournaments he played in at Duke. Is continuing in the League

There were red flags all over Reddish. I'm surprised he went so high in the draft actually.

Me too. I had absolutely no interest in him at 14, had he been available.

Weirdly, didn't NBA rookies vote that he had the chance to be the best player from this draft? Not Zion?

I thought that was Barrett, but I could be getting my Duke guys mixed up.

His passing seems to have jumped into the elite category of big man passers (eg. KG/Webber/AD) this season, I'm pumped to see if he can keep it up.

Sad to see Trae Young miss most of his game after spraining his ankle. Hope he can bounce back fast. Really like that kid, and Collins, and Herro. Just really like that Atlanta team as a whole.
