The Suns and Golden State Warriors squared off in their inaugural Summer League match on Saturday night. They were defeated 90-73 by the Warriors, who put them away early and never looked back. They were unable to bounce back from a sluggish start.
Michаel DeVоe scоred 19 pоints оn 4-7 FG аnd 11-13 FT shооting, tо leаd аll Suns scоrers. The оnly reliаble оffensive threаt fоr Phоenix wаs the left-hаnded guаrd, whо displаyed sоme deft оffensive mоvements.With 12 points on 4-14 shooting, David Roddy was the only other Sun player to score in double figures. The team’s shooting percentage was a dismal 33/18/77, with 19 turnovers compared to 13 assists. icky things.
The Rооks оsо Ighоdаrо: 3–8 FG, 27 minutes, 6 pоints, 5 rebоunds, 2 blоcks, 1 steаl
Oso Ighodaro had a highlight-reel dunk early in the game and showed some moments of brilliance on the boards. It was enjoyable to watch the playmaking and ball handling on top of the key.
Summer League guard play is quite poor. Lob passes? Ignore it. The pick-and-roll game was very annoying. However, that is to be anticipated. All we’re searching for are flashes. He offered a couple.Given that the first game is all about finding your footing, I believe he is due for a great performance on Tuesday. It’s understandable that some of his shots were hurried because the rookie was still getting used to the game and dealing with nerves. The same is true for Ryan Dunn, whom we discuss below.
Ryan Dunn: 3-7 (0-3 3PFG), 26 minutes, 6 points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 blocks
Dunn performed as was to be anticipated. tenacious defense, including multiple plays that deserve special attention. He didn’t contribute much offensively in this match, but when it did, which wasn’t often, he let the game come to him. Defensively, he was everywhere. I’m not too concerned with how he and Oso performed offensively in a summer league context where playmaking guard play was sporadic. He performed his duties, something the Suns sorely missed throughout the previous campaign.
