Suns Win Inaugural Vegas Summer League Game Four Phoenix Suns players scored in double figures led by Derrick Dial?s 19 to take the first game, 92-88 over the Washington Wizards, of the Inaugural Vegas Summer League. Dial was 8 of 12 from the field in 35 minutes of play for the Suns. Leondro Barbosa (18), Casey Jacobsen (17) and Maceij Lampe (14) also scored in double figures for the victorious Suns. Jacobsen led the Suns in rebounding with 8. Jared Jeffries paved the way for the Wizards with 21 points (7-14 FG) and 7 rebounds. Steve Blake contributed 19 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists in the losing effort. The Suns trailed 64-63 going into the fourth quarter. Barbosa, Dial and Lampe each scored 7 points each in the fourth to seal the win for the Suns. Phoenix shot 46 percent from the field (31-68), while Washington shot 42 percent (31-72). The Suns will take on the Cleveland Cavaliers tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m. The Wizards next game is Thursday when they battle #1 pick Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic at 5:00 p.m. http://vegassummerleague.com/2004/features...4da2415b83db80e anyone see it on nbatv? the gossipn from those who saw it on the arizona sports fan network is that Casey couldn't finish, barbosa didn't look like a point anymore than before, lampe was very rough, and vroman played PF only as he is too small to play C Zarko would've ruled it http://www.vegassummerleague.com/2004/stat...-13july2004.php
I watched parts of the game, Barbosa is the man, he still needs to work on his playmaking. I liked how Lampe played, he didn't do great, but he's lost weight is more toned, and is quicker and looks capable of offensively being a SF like he did before. He hit a few shots, and looks promising but hasn't shown anything inside.
Starbosa and Casey have continued to play well in the summer league. Vroman looks to be a decent backup type PF in the mode of Little Jake who will use his energy and rebounding to give effective minutes. I am very pleased with the summer league so far.
from the sounds of the suns.com and rmr game revues barbosa is tearing it up with his shooting (and averaging a foul every 6 minutes), but is he distributing the ball at all? Anyone seen the games? Please describe to those of us that don't have NBATV
