Seriously, if you just put a shock collar on THT that would fire every time he takes a fadeaway, you would probably have a pretty good player after a few weeks.
 
The paint is so clogged it's ridiculous.

It's just far from ideal that we're playing 4 on 5 on offense when Kessler's on the floor. He's not even looking at the rim when he gets the ball.

Durant destroying Collins

This is looking absolutely horrible.

Familiar sight. Somebody's dribbling, jab stepping, spinning... and the four other players standing in place, clapping or waving their hands like crazy.

So what position can Taylor guard? That's the question.

Kessler hanging out on the perimeter doing nothing while Sexton tries to dribble into the trees.

Yeah, I guess I'm done with this game. See ya

Obviously he can't guard 5's. But does he have the footspeed for 3's, that's the question.

John Collins with 11 points, 8 rebounds and an assist in 17 minutes... and of course, he's still a team-worst -14.

Uncanny.
Just a sampling of the tremendous downside experience. Left some out but dont worry, none of them were positive at all.
 
No Luka minutes so far.
 
Kessler with 8 points (100% from the field and 100% from the line), 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, zero turnovers and zero fouls in 13 minutes
He got the 7th most minutes in the half. Only guys he played more than was THT and Hendricks. Play him more please
 
So are there still big concerns about Keyonte or are we all satisfied with where he is?
His defense still leaves a lot to be desired, but that’s true for nearly all rookies. Efficiency could use a bump, also true for nearly all rookies. I think he can be a starting point guard on a championship team with hard work.
 
Seemed like the best lineup was kessler, lauri, dunn, george or sexton, clarkson.
Makes sense. I like that lineup. Need to limit Collins time on the court.
 
The thing about Phoenix is that they aren't going to play defense. If you can string together some stops, you can come back on them.

As long as he doesn't get too shoot-happy I'm good with what he's doing. We're a different team when he's on his game.
 
Suns shot over 61% from the field and 50% from 3 in the first half.
And we are still in the game

Kessler, like most rim protecting bigs, often has to guard multiple guys in the paint on the same possession
