Gameday Open Thread (Suns)

Ben_tiny by Ben. on Comment 475 comments

It's the final weekend of Summer League and I've landed in Vegas just in time to watch the youngsters face off today against the Suns and tomorrow against the Hornets.  My timing is impeccable, as Joe Freeman reports that Petko may get some extended rest today. Wonderful!  At least this will keep the ball in Bayless's hands, I guess.

Phoenix Stan over at Bright Side of the Sun is also chronicling Summer League here in LV so be sure to check out his coverage throughout the day.

Gametime is 7PM tonight.  The names to know on the Suns roster are DJ Strawberry, Alando Tucker and Robin Lopez; they are led into battle by longtime Blazers nemesis Thunder Dan Majerle. 

The developing question for the Blazers tonight will be: How well will Bayless handle the point guard role?  Or, put another away, how long will JB pretend to play the point before he decides to take the game over because he is surrounded by incompetents (too harsh, my bad) the most talented player on the floor?

Have the Blazer coaches seen enough of Koponen?

OK, I’ll run this by you, Ben, since Dave is not responding.

Do you get the impression that the Blazer’s brass has “seen enough” of PetKo at the PG and have already made their decision to sign or not sign him?

Is PK nursing an injury?

If not, why rest him now when SL is THE time to develop youngsters?

If you are at Vegas, see if you can track down KP and ask him these questions.

by two4larue on Jul 19, 2008 11:44 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I don't have as much computer access here as at home

I would guess that the Blazer brass have indeed seen what they need to see from Koponen. Keep in mind he also came in early to work out for them. They have not seen Bayless at point at all. Petteri has years to develop and these two games won’t help him as much as seeing Bayless play point will help the Blazers (and Bayless himself).

Think this through

Remember what Sen. Ted Stevens said about the Internets:

”... It’s a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line …”

So, really, it doesn’t matter that those guys are in Vegas as long as there is a tube that extends that far and if they can fill the tube with their message.

Nice try though.

So, do you have a scoop?

Is Koponen going to be on the 2008 roster? Or in Europe?

by two4larue on Jul 19, 2008 12:12 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don't have a scoop

because nobody is saying at this point. But if you want my best guess I’d say that all three of the main guys here will be on our roster.

—Dave

by Dave on Jul 19, 2008 1:12 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I not only lack a scoop; I don't have a teaspoon

but the tea leaves (the teaspoon would help stir them) seem to be saying:
o Koponen’s going to get a Trailblazer contract for 2008-09.
o No way the Trailblazers are going deep into the season with four point guards taking up 26.7% of the roster spots.

So that raises the obvious question: among the four, who gets traded (because nobody can get cut)?

Blake is the only safe starter, with by far the highest floor, but also the lowest ceiling.

Rodriguez was foolish to stay home in Spain, but the Trailblazers think enough of him that they sent over an assistant coach to live there for the summer with no assignment other than to get Sergio up to speed.

Koponen could well spend a good portion of the season in the Development League, but he still takes a roster spot there, and does not have a trade value as high as his potential.

RydBay is the most unknown quantity—in terms of whether he can play the 1 (there are no minutes to share at 2, so he’d da-n well better play 1). Makes sense to get a look at him against competition who may not be good, but are seriously hungry.

by monkeysuncle on Jul 19, 2008 5:44 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Bayless

Does he really count as a PG? He reminds me quite a bit of Leandro Barbosa – a dude who doesn’t seem to have a real position, but who gets to the hole in a hurry and who can light it up. Now we don’t really know much about Bayless’ defense, but he has quick feet so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. We can use him in the second and fourth quarters to provide some instant offense and maybe lock down the other team’s PG in crunch time.

With Roy on the team, we don’t really need a traditional PG, just someone who can dribble well enough to bring the ball up the court.

I’d say that Rodriguez is the odd man out.

by torsoheap on Jul 19, 2008 6:11 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

With all due respect ...

If KP trades Bayless away in favor of keeping Sergio then I’ll know this team is jinxed and all of the good vibes that have been accumulating over the past couple of years were all just a cruel cruel joke.

I think Serg will need a new home by the trading deadline, and who knows maybe a change of scenery will do him some good, because I don’t see him sniffing the regular rotation thsi coming year.

Unacceptable

Since you run the site, you are expected to be on standby 24/7 to answer any and all questions we might have.

Koponen has been running the point in Europe so he is more of a known quantity. Bayless hasn’t done much passing since he has been too busy driving to the basket. I’m not sure to whom he is expected to pass the ball though.

by torsoheap on Jul 19, 2008 12:19 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

A+ for grammar....

by not finishing your sentence with a preposition. Although I would have gone with, “Though I am not sure to whom he is expected to pass the ball.”

Just havin’ fun. It isn’t often people make the effort to do what you did. Thank you.

I'm still

not putting too much stock in Bay’s assist #’s. He has had some good passes, and I’ve said it before, I have never seen so many bigs getting their shots swatted as I have seen in these summer L. games. I keep seeing Bay throw a pass and thinking, “L-Train would have made that short shot, assist to J-Bay.”

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

Assists, I don't care about

What I think is something we need to see: Driving and dishing. He drives and always looks to finish, but if instead drove and looked to the Finnish, that would show a better eye for distributing.

And don’t tell me PK’s not playing tonight, it’d ruin my pun.

Not so fast.

So far Bayless has had very little time at PG. And when he has been, he does not have many options to pass to who can convert the pass into a basket. He was told early on to play the SG and has done so terrifically. Let’s wait till we see him in fall camp, preseason and 3 months of the season. I’ll bet he becomes a very decent PG. He did average 4 assists last season even though he played out of position as SG.
