So, we’ve all been told that Josh Jackson is a supreme athlete and explosive leaper who makes Derrick Jones Jr. look like Luke Ridnour. This is the narrative that surrounds last year’s 4th overall pick. So why does he go up so weak with his dunks? He had two easy breakaway slams in this game,…

Greg Monroe 20 Points Suns Debut Full Highlights (11/16/2017)
By the time Greg Monroe got traded away from Milwaukee, he had made me into a fan. I won’t lie to you and say that some of his tendencies didn’t annoy me, like his inability to defend the rim, his desire to take elbow jumpers after standing there with the ball for five seconds, his…
Read MoreTroy Daniels 23 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/16/2017)
This is what Troy Daniels does. He shoots three-pointers. Historically, somewhere between 60% and 80% of his shot attempts come from the deepzone. It was only a matter of time before he had a shooting display like this for the Suns, the fifth stop in his young NBA career. If he gets minutes on a…
Read MoreDragan Bender 15 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2017)
It took a while, maybe longer than people expected, but Dragan Bender has finally put up a “good” offensive game for the Suns. No conditions, no gotchas, no ifs. Just a straight-up good game scoring the rock for “Very Soft Player”. He did it all, pretty much. Is this what Suns fans thought they were…
Read MoreT.J. Warren 35 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2017)
No jokes, no humor, no sarcasm, T.J. Warren is one of my favorite players in the league right now. The three-ball that I was expecting he’d develop hasn’t come through, but that doesn’t matter. Why shoot threes when you can step inside and make it rain from the midrange? Defenders aren’t expecting it these days….
Read MoreMike James 18 Points Full Highlights (11/10/2017)
Mike James is continuing the proud tradition of chucker Suns point guards. Ever since Steve Nash left, the Suns have churned through a series of point guards who can score, but not really pass, and Mike James is just the latest in the trend. Goran Dragic was probably the least chuck-prone and most similar to…
Read MoreAlex Len 21 Points Full Highlights (11/10/2017)
I knew I was in for some punishment when I saw that Alex Len made ten free throws in this game to just five made field goals. And when Len made three of his five field goals before even taking a free throw, I had to resist the urge to unplug my computer and throw…
Read MoreJosh Jackson 18 Points Full Highlights (11/10/2017)
If I’m an opposing defender, I’m looking at Josh Jackson’s smug-looking mug and getting really mad. So mad that I go hard at him every time he comes down the court, playing him close, pulling up my shorts while getting into a defensive stance, maybe even yapping a bit. He just has that tight-lipped half-smirk…
Read MoreMike James 18 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2017)
If things keep going the way they’ve been going, I’m going to end up doing more vids for Mike James than almost any other player this year. Right now he’s in second place behind Ben Simmons, and unlike that dude, it’s not likely that he graduates from this channel by being too good. So he…
Read MoreMike James 16 Points Full Highlights (11/6/2017)
With Mike “Never Scored 20 PPG for the Raptors” James’ increased prominence on his team, and, by extension, the NBA as a whole, it is now appropriate to include him in the “grossest NBA beard” discussion. He seems like the type of guy who would be attractive with a mild amount of stubble, but the…
