Enjoy. The coast to coast stuff is special. Very few guys that size can do that.

God damn, man. I hope he can do that with some consistency during the season.

People say he is similar to Zach Randolph but i would disagree Randolph aint doin that.
A Lefty Chris Webber though me like or an Odom/Randolph hybrid? I know its wishful thinking but a brotha can dream .

Randle played great against the Blazers. Also, really liking Lin so far in the preseason, he's constantly trying to get into the paint and he's either scoring or making plays for others, about time we have a PG that can do that now.

What's the chance that Roscoe Smith makes the team? The guy is just pure hustle, he's the Jordan Hill of small forwards.

Clarkson had some very nice plays, including on defense and offense. I'm telling you LA, if that kid develops a good basketball IQ, someone with his size and athleticism, he's gonna be a good player in this league.

Either way, as long as we stay relatively healthy, this could be a fun season to watch even if we don't make the playoffs. A lot of young players to be excited about.

Nash out for the year. lol

I think he was still working for the Suns these last 3 years.

Honestly though, I think it speaks volumes to the Suns training staff. It's no coincidence that Nash has barely seen the court since the trade, and that Grant Hill was only able to play 29 games in his last season when he left the Suns for the Clippers. If there's hope for a perennially healthy Eric Bledsoe, it lies in the magic of Aaron Nelson and staff.

Cool, now he'll have more time to hit on underage girls at Shellbacks.

Odom/Randolph hybrid is pretty accurate. He's got the speed & ball handling of prime Odom with the power game of Randolph. That's special. He goes coast to coast like twice a game.

He has three primary issues on the offensive end. He's a below average shooter, he needs to slow the eff down sometimes, and he doesn't move well off of the ball. He's already shown signs of improvement in the first two areas, and the second one's just a function of experience. The third one worries me the most. He can be a great offensive rebounder if he wants to be. One cause for optimism is that he was really good in that area in college. That usually doesn't go away. Very excited about him though.

I agree if he can comtinue to improve we might have another budding superstar on our hands. He definetly seems to have great intangibles; High motor, killer instinct, work ethic.

What i like is that he is improving in the exact areas that seems to be his greatest weaknesses right now.

Amazing training staff in Phoenix. Too bad the GM, coach, and players aren't up to their level. lol

Horny is gonna take them to the promise land!

Wow, flashing some serious offensive skill right there, and all under complete control. He has already made big strides in that department. I could see him averaging 15+ a game if Byron decides to give him PT...Who is the best to pair him up with though?

Have any of the other rookies looked better than Juilius so far this preseason? Looks to be a get for #7.

Exum scored in double digits once!

I feel good about Jeremy Lin, I think he will be able to pull this young group together. As long as they play team ball, only good things can come from it.

Today's the day! Los lakers
