Charania's Inside Pass: DeRozan's future with Spurs, Siakam...

2018 No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton appears primed for a big season. Suns officials, coaches and players all have raved about Ayton’s work ethic this offseason and believe he is going to have a monster campaign. He and Devin Booker will need to continue to build chemistry along with veteran additions Ricky Rubio and Aron Baynes and re-signed forward Kelly Oubre Jr. — with new coach Monty Williams providing a structure in Phoenix.





Kelly Oubre Jr. ready to take a leap forward with the Suns

“I’m a defensive-minded first player,” Oubre said. “I take pride in being a two-way athlete. Just not somebody who is a one-dimensional player. So, defense is my first bread and butter that got me where I am today. ... I’m just going to continue to hone in on that and try to be the best defender I can. My goal is definitely first-team All-Defense multiple times in my career, Defensive Player Of The Year, stuff like that.”

One way Oubre can help reach those lofty benchmarks is going one-on-one with Mikal Bridges everyday in practice. Those two quickly usurped T.J. Warren and Josh Jackson as the preferred long-term wing partnership alongside Booker and Ayton due to their versatile skillsets.

The Stretch Bros, as Oubre playfully nicknamed he and Bridges, have helped each other progress along the way. Oubre, who has three more years NBA experience than Bridges, picks the latter’s brain because his floor sense is very advanced.

“Hell yeah,” Oubre said of Bridges helping him get better. “We call each other The Stretch Bros because we have long arms. He’s a great defender as well. And he’s very smart, so it’s really good to pick his brain as well. Although we’re the same age, I’ve been in the league longer than him, but his IQ is on another level. So, to be able to learn from somebody like that, to be able to help him through this process, is amazing.”

“My leadership style: I try to remain positive,” Oubre said. “I don’t try to just yell at people, get on them when they mess up. I’d rather help these guys comfortably learn through this whole year. Rookies, anybody else that needs help, but also try to ask them for advice as well. Try to evolve and show them that they’re a leader. So, I just like to encourage and be positive.”

I still think the Suns won't make the playoffs but they will be competitive. Unless Ayton and Booker turn into top 10-15 players in the league. Especially Ayton.

Bird’s eye view: On Wednesday, Turner made the signing of Stan Van Gundy official. The Post reported it back in August.

Turner has expanded the role for CBS/YES Network’s Ian Eagle on Tuesdays. He and Brian Anderson will be the game-callers for its coverage. They will have another analyst, Jim Jackson, who has shown potential in runs on CBS and Fox Sports.

Marv Albert will continue as Turner’s No. 1 play-by-player on Thursday
s. :scust: Albert has two years remaining on his deal. Kevin Harlan will also do play-by-play on Thursdays.

Eagle is the current play-by-player who is closest to Albert in style and humor, while Harlan is the longest-tenured on TNT’s NBA coverage. Anderson was in line to eventually succeed Albert under former TNT president David Levy. With Jeff Zucker now overseeing the department, the plan is to go through this year before figuring out what is next.

Because people convinced him his RINGS here wasn't enough for his legacy.


And they're right.
Golden state fans just caping so steph can pile up rings as the 2nd best player on his own team. But their run is over now.

KD tired of getting disrespected on a team he made a dynasty. Then yall pushed him out there to ruin his career with the Achilles injury. Anybody would be done with it if the person who recruited him calling him a hoe ass bytch and then pressure him into a career altering injury
