I wouldn’t have made this video except for the fact that T.J. “Warren Peace” Warren went eight of eight from the field, which is a somewhat interesting achievement. Clint Capela also did the very same thing last night, but since he only shoots from within four feet of the rim, that’s not even interesting or unexpected. When a jumpshooter does it, that’s when it starts being cool. So yeah, 21 points by itself is not very cool for an elite scorer like T.J. Warren and wouldn’t normally warrant an entire highlight video.
Yeah, I said ELITE. Come at me bro.
Actually, since most of the people watching this video are Suns fans, they’ll agree with my assessment of the caliber of Warren’s scoring abilities. If he put up 20 PPG next year, I wouldn’t even be surprised. The only things stopping him from doing that exact thing are 1.) Devin Booker 2.) Undisclosed head injuries and 3.) Earl Watson. Warren himself is perfectly able and willing to score that many points or more, it’s just a matter of whether the roster construction of the team next year will allow him to do so.
I wish I was good at drawing so I could draw a picture of T.J. Warren teabagging Michael Jordan. Oh well.
