Are the Suns gonna add wings who can shoot? Roddy, Okogie, Nas Little and Ryan Dunn aren’t going to cut it. I bet the undrafted rookie Jalen Bridges might get into the rotation at some point this year. Shot 50% from corners three’s in college and over 40% overall.

@zeus4885 27 күн бұрын

Facts, ain’t no way this is the roster they go into the season with. Not nearly enough shooting. Bridges is a good shooter but a 2 way contract who won’t get playoff mins.

@@zeus4885 Unless they cut someone to make room for him if he plays well and he might be given the opportunity with the lack of shooting at the wing behind KD, Bol and Royce. One of Dunn, Okogie(assuming he’s back), Roddy, Little have to prove to not be a weakness at the three point line or else Bridges might see himself in the rotation.

Do you think jalen bridges will secure himself a roster spot? Feel like his shooting and his offball movement from his size at 6'9 is something we desperately need to fill our true wing spot outside of KD. Saw he shot 50% from corner 3s as well obviously gotta see it translate but thought that was really impressive.

Why does James Jones not prioritize point guards? Beal is not a point guard. Neither is Booker. Ironically, the Suns were a mediocre team until they signed Nash. So he experienced first hand how much a difference a point guard can make.

Suns still need a big power forward

@edwardmanues8576 25 күн бұрын

I seen an article where Dunn talking about getting better as a shooter. News flash kid we don't need another scorer. We need a defender who can put up decent 3s and pass. Not another scorer. Book beal and kd need to sit down with him and let him know he has the chance to become one of the best defenders in the game. Always having to guard beal kd or book in practice. If I was book and have him stay at the pad in Phoenix and break his ass down everyday on the court.

This team is sooooo much better constructed than it was last year. Sooo much bettter size and defensive talent. Any argument otherwise is delusional.

@jeffchronister4092 27 күн бұрын

I think overall we will be a better team than last year. Compete for the title? Still doubtful, but i do believe assuming we stay healthy and make the playoffs that we will be a team that nobody wants to face. We have more size and depth now. We actually have an elite, athletic perimeter defender in dunn, that despite what's been said about his shooting was lighting it up in drills and going back and watching his videos he was hitting jumper and even a turnaround jumpshot. The two guards morris and gillespie are solid and are good playmakers. Bridges is versatile and can play four positions. Ighodoro would be best suited as backup power forward because he doesn't have real center size but is similiar to boris diaw with his passing and basketball IQ . Although he is bigger and more athletic. Bol will be back and better. Lee will also return and add a perimeter threat next to allen. There is also the possibility of the suns adding marcus morris on a vet minimum. Although i don't like the morris twins they have always been physical and have that " thug mentality" that this team has been lacking. I think by season's end this team will be a force and ryan dunn will be in the running for rookie of the year. He may not win but he will be in the discussion.

@zeus4885 27 күн бұрын

Love this comment, I think the Suns should sign Marcus morris even though suns fans hate him. I agree with everything you said here. Suns still need to add shooting but I feel much better about this upcoming season than last

This is the same 💩 different season bunch vet min players remember we all got hyped about the signings last yr on vet mins look how that turned out reason these guys are playing on min. Dunn helps w defense but that's about it, we still going to have book playing outta position at PG him and Beal just don't fit on same team they both should be playing SG neither are PG or really play able at SF just don't mesh, Morris is serviceable as back up but let's face it he's not starter caliber.
