[Game] Kings @ Suns (Pre-Season) Game Discussion

Per Grant, starters will be the same as Monday night except Willie will start in place of Koufos.

Koufos is sitting the game out to rest and may not be available to play.

Caron will get some time on the floor tonight.

I thought I heard Koufos was sitting the game out to rest and may not be available to play.

Yeah Jason Jones tweeted that Koufos will sit. And that Karl plans to sit a starter every game.
 
Just an interesting tidbit, if Bledsoe, Booker, Goodwin, and Knight as well as Cousins, Caley-Stein and Rondo all end up on the floor together at any point in the game, that is seven Kentucky Wildcats playing at the same time in an NBA game. Could that be a record of some kind?

play Willie more and see what Caron can do, surely can contribute more than James Anderson..

Aside from that airball Anderson actually played pretty well. Defensively he stayed in front of his man and pressured and rotated well, something Ben has yet to prove. Also he is a league average 3 pt shooter and can create a little off the dribble. If Ben doesn't step up I wouldn't be surprised if Karl starts opting to play Bellinelli and Anderson for SG minutes. This is Ben's first real test, no more giving him minutes just because he was a lottery pick, we are striving for more than just developing kids and winning 28 games. I'm pretty confident in saying Anderson is the best wing defender on the current roster, not ideal, but those are the facts.

Agreed. My patience for Ben is running thin, if he can't produce he should sit, period. We need him to be just an average SG, play decent defense, and hit the open shot. That's it. I wish I could be given 2 years to perform well at my job. What a luxury that would be. I hope to be proven wrong, but I feel like he just doesn't have "it." He runs through the motions out there and is super passive. Occasionally, he will shove a guy to defend himself, but other than that he wilts under any pressure.

I'm not convinced at that...Anderson isn't anything special really, but then again neither is Ben right now so I suppose you play the guy with more upside.
 
OMG. I had faith ... right up until the intro for the Hawks-Cavs game. An instant replay of the whole freaking game? Honestly, NBA-TV? Bullcrap!
 
I was told you could see the game via the Phoenix Suns App....which I downloaded and it says "can't play video." I smell a conspiracy...not sure what, why or how.
