He woudl have to be thicker.

Stilts

 

He always is. Shoulda kept Ed Davis.

 

Zach played bad last night. Hes young, has irregular minutes, needs to add strength and be coached up to be stronger inside. Doesnt have much confidence right now, but over the 1st month of the season we saw what he could be.

 

Good game by just about everyone up until the scrubs.

Zach was off though. Is it just me or does Zach get stripped of the ball a heck of a lot. He can’t seem to hang on to it. It’s like he has no hands at all.

 

Mi dont think he played thst bad.

His positioning was good. He missed a three thst was in and out. He missed a rebound that just went past his fingertips.
He had a ticky tack foul against him.

He needs to control the emotions more thiugh. After the first timeout where he was scored on. You could see the frustrstion o nthe walk to the bench and his posture after he sat.

His movement on the court was still good.
Ball just bounced the other way on him tonight i think.

 

Did something happen to Hood? He only played like 9 minutes.

 

Went out with a sore hip in the first half and announced he wouldnt return for the game. Didnt hear anything else on it though.

 

Like i said go back and re read the statement. Nowhere in any stretch of any human comprehension does it say Zach was the only issue. He was one of the issues. Simply put the third unit plus Zach was the issue.
Honestly how are you getting all of this from a statement about Meyers?

 

Not yet maybe. But that dude has some serious skills and when the Suns put another solid player around him they will be a good team and will win some games.

 

You see why i am saying read the post? I wasn't even really trashing Zach. He just didn't really look to be playing well. The entire third unit was not making things happen out there. I guess because they are third unit it stands to reason.

 

Zach didn't have a good game and he get stripped a lot because of his strength especially his hands. But he did 6 rebounds and 1 was offense rebounds off free throw that led him to a bucket for us with a assist he had 2 of them. So he wasn't totally trash. But to me this is a big off season for Zach.

 

It's mostly where he brings the ball.

 

Nurk goes through that also. Brings the ball down to jump. Zach is getting better but they both need to watch Jake grab a rebound and go back up.
Big guys need to really work on core strength to get that motion. Very tough for a 7 foot guy to move like that.

 

Part of the difference is that Jake's 2nd, 3rd jumps are so quick, Zach's are fairly quick, and Nurk's are not quick...

 

To me he plays as old as he looks. It seems like he's a 35 year old center with knee problems that have taken away his bounce. Maybe it's just the wear of his rookie season.

He also seemed to be super passive, especially considering at one point he hit several turn around jumpers and then didn't seem to care that he didn't touch the ball much after that.

 

What a ridiculous thing to say. It's when he ends the ball.

 

Haha yeah when i saw him for the first time i couldn't belive that he's 20 years old. He looks like 40

 

Great bounce back game last night. End of bench made it interesting. Tied with OKC again with some key games this week. Going to be a wild ride to the end.

 

20 years old and average double double isn't two shabby.
They got some young talent on that team!

 

Im not a huge fan of Booker or Ayton, I just dont feel like they play winning basketball. Could be coaching and youth, there is talent there, neither are very good at defense.
