1. Tough Players

He seems to be a tough player. He was just throwing himself all over the place. He did not seem to be scared to find himself in the middle of the action.

. . .he has to attack, attack, attack, because he can't shoot yet.

But, he has good court awareness so he attacks but then if the D collapses on him, he's finding open shooters.

He'll learn to shoot better, but in high school, he probably didn't need to because hardly anybody could stop him from getting to the basket any time he wanted to go there.

...he can't shoot yet, but give him time. With that athletic ability, he probably has never worried about having to shoot because he's always been able to get to the rim anytime he wants.

BTW: This kid has a YouTube collection of dunks, that go all the way back to when he was a 5'6" sophomore in HS.

HE HAS HOPS!

Good lord.

I was pissed that the Suns are worse than last year, now I hope they tank on purpose.

He's a force of nature.
But this kid went from under the water to over the moon
Suddenly, he's the most athletic PG in college basketball
Generally, I don't care about minor league basketball until March where I start looking for who I'm going to see with the big boys the next year
This kid, I heard nothing about. Then , who is this spiderman?

And a really good first step.

I don't doubt he will become a good shooter.

They lowered the odds for the draft. I think they have talent they just need to build on the foundation they have.

I was mostly joking though, but the Suns need serious coaching help, Warren needs to immediately be put back in the starting lineup, and probably Jackson as well. Not only are they playing crappy D, but their offense is horrible at times. That being the case, why brink your best shooter off the bench? The three point game is not working for ariza anyway.

Opposing coached screamed at him during the game that he would sit at Georgetown. He is definitely not sitting.
