Is this the guy who’s supposed to be a really good shooter? I’m not saying he isn’t; I genuinely don’t know, and since DraftExpress got paywalled into ESPN, I have no way to check. I could be thinking of Josh Okogie. Or Peter Jok. One thing’s for sure, though: this guy, named by official NBA…

Deandre Ayton 24 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (10/27/2018)
Deandre Ayton went 12 of 13 tonight. The rest of his teammates? 4 of 75. That’s not a typo. That’s really what they shot. The Suns ended up scoring 34 points and Ayton had 24 of them. I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating in light of recent events (this game): he needs to…
Read MoreDeandre Ayton 22 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (10/24/2018)
Deandre Ayton probably should’ve gone for more than 22 tonight. He was facing the Lakers and their defensively abysmal center rotation, and he was efficient, but he didn’t shoot enough shots. I know it’s tough for a rookie to go out there and demand shots like he’s a 10-year veteran, but you gotta do what…
Read MoreDeandre Ayton 20 Points/5 Assists/4 Dunks Full Highlights (10/22/2018)
This video is ruined by two things: -Free throws. It’s great to have confirmation that Deandre Ayton can hit his free throws since that is an important skill for a big who will get fouled a lot, but come on. Nobody wants to watch all these free throws. The worst thing is that most of…
Read MoreT.J. Warren 27 Points Full Highlights (10/22/2018)
I think it’s time for a reboot of my as-yet-unproduced TV show, “Jared Dudley’s Cornrows A-No-No”. The idea of the show is that Jared Dudley, who once had really bad cornrows but managed to get rid of them because of his deep inner strength, stages interventions with NBA players who have really bad cornrows. He…
Read MoreTrevor Ariza 21 Points/7 Assists Suns Debut Full Highlights (10/17/2018)
I was skeptical of the Suns’ decision to pay aging-vet-role-player Trevor Ariza 15 million (with an M) dollars this season just so he could take minutes away from whatever fringy prospects they would have on the roster. It was only a one-year deal so it wouldn’t hurt them too much in the long term, but…
Read MoreDeandre Ayton 18 Points/6 Assists Suns Debut Full Highlights (10/17/2018)
Deandre Ayton lounged in his locker after his strong opening-night performance. Teammates and trainers were occasionally dropping by to give him high-fives, which he received in between sips of Gatorade. But there was something missing. What was it? In the adjacent locker, Trevor Ariza noticed his teammate just staring off into space. “I know what…
Read MoreJosh Jackson All 65 Dunks Full Highlights (2017-18 Season Dunkilation)
“Hey Devin, we got a big problem here,” Josh Jackson said into his phone, trying not to panic. Devin Booker, answering the call on the other end, paused for a second before replying. “Okay, first, I don’t know where ‘here’ is, second, what the heck even are you talking about?” Josh felt like he was…
Read MoreDanuel House 16 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (4/10/2018)
The Mavericks’ scrub unit might have totally buried the Suns’ scrub unit, but the good news is, the Suns’ tandem of Shaquille Harrison and Danuel House had a combined total of seven sick dunks between them. These weren’t lame-o dunks either. These were NEAT-O dunks. One could even say that House held his own…”House Party”,…
Read MoreDragan Bender 15 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (4/10/2018)
Eddie Johnson, in all his rambling incoherence, managed to sum up the situation concisely at the end of this video: Dragan Bender needs to work on being able to shoot the ball more often. That means not always making the easy pass when the ball hits your hands. That means making an effort to score…
