McDonough on the PG situation: "We're young there, we're inexperienced."
Said Okobo has been a standout over the summer. PHX will continue to
evaluate trade options

McDonough says he feels like the Suns checked most of their boxes from
over the summer with 3-point shooting, defense and more vets

McDonough mentions side-to-side ball movement, secondary action, multiple
pick-and-roll sets when talking about Igor Kokoskov's system

McDonough on mentioned 3 of the 4 conference finalists last year (GSW,
HOU, BOS) had small-ball lineups with 3-4 wings. Suns aspire to put out
lineups like that in the future

McDonough said Marquese Chriss had an up-and-down couple of years, but
the biggest thing was concern about his fit with Deandre Ayton

McDonough says this is the most shooting the Suns have had in his tenure
as GM, which was an intentional goal this summer. We also have our first
"T.J. Warren has worked on his shot" quote of the day

McDonough says Booker got the sutures out of his hand last week, passed
preseason conditioning test. He's been working on cardio and working out
one-handed

McDonough says T.J.Warren tweaked his shot and has looked good from the
perimeter in offseason workouts.

McDonough update on Devin Booker’s hand post-surgery: Got sutures out
last week and is currently working out with splint on that right hand.
The hope still is that he can be back right around opening night Oct. 17.

Darrell Arthur won't be with Phoenix, McDonough said. Said it's a medical
issue and he's staying back in Denver. #Suns

McDonough talked about physicality the most when asked about Bender going
into year three. They've seen more of that out of his game in offseason
workouts. "For a young big, he's pretty unselfish, almost to a fault," GM
Ryan McDonough said.

"I feel like we check all the boxes on our do-list this summer," Phoenix
@Suns GM Ryan McDonough. Acknowledged three-year window is over and it's
time to win games. Also acknowledged the team is open to trades when
asked about the point guard position.

McDonough hinted at Jackson's defensive versatility opening up the
possibility of Booker playing the 1.

McDonough says Igor Kokoskov will get creative with the Suns' playmaking
wings (Josh Jackson and Devin Booker), even if they don't have an
established PG.

He said Igor has these options with pass and cut to suggest they don't
need a prototypical point guard. He mentioned how the Rockets had three
or four wings on the court. So I can see your point on him being a DJ.

Igor says he wanted to spend more one-on-one time with T.J. Warren during
the offseason, but was busy with the pre-draft process. Says his shot
looks tremendously better on 3s, but he will still play to his strengths
of driving towards the basket. Maybe corner 3s incoming?

Whoa. That was a different T.J. Warren. New haircut, super talkative, no
one-word answers. Seemed really excited for the upcoming season and talked
about his confidence with the 3-ball.

T.J. Warren now has “Warren Jr.” on the back of his jersey for this
upcoming season.

Igor said defense will take priority over offense for Ayton and that he
should take pride in being a rim protector.

"Huge. That's balance." Igor said of Anderson's value to Ayton as a
frontcourt partner. Referenced Nash/STAT having the space to work.

Ayton said he has texted Nash a few times this offseason. Has been getting
"big paragraphs" of advice he makes sure to read.

Ayton says Igor is always on him in practice about becoming a defensive
anchor. He’s been drilling in him to be like Rudy Gobert.

"I can't really say anything," Deandre Ayton on his reaction to @JoelEmbiid
"get his ass kicked this year." comments. Said he hasn't scored in an NBA
game, but said he'll have commentary after he does that.

Ryan Anderson said Deandre Ayton's touch and skill is amazing. He's
played with Dwight Howard and Anthony Davis, mentioned how raw Davis was
as a rookie but Ayton is advanced.

Anderson said Ariza has been one of the closest friends he has ever had
as a teammate. he's talked to Ariza almost once a day in the offseason.
They've had "tons of conversations" about leading this young team as
veterans.

"We want to change the narrative of the Phoenix #Suns that it's been of
late," Trevor Ariza when talking about himself and Ryan Anderson.

"He's a dog. He'll do whatever it takes to win. He will cut your throat
to win." Trevor Ariza when asked about the Devin Booker-Kobe Bryant
comparisons.

Trevor Ariza's advice to Josh Jackson was to never be afraid of a
challenge. Jackson said guys like him and Ariza want the challenge of
checking guys like Kevin Durant and LeBron James.

Bridges said on the podcast that Trevor Ariza has he and Josh Jackson
workout and put up shots with him every morning. Ariza's influence is
already being felt heavily.

"Read and react" is how Josh Jackson answered a question about the offense.
Said it's about reading the defense as opposed to running sets. Said Igor's
offense has multiple options.

Daniels said at times last year he noticed the young guys getting a bit
tired of the talk from veterans. Said the additions of Ariza and Anderson,
who have won, helps get that message across more.

Holmes said he was finishing a workout in Philly when Brett Brown called
to let him know he had been traded. Said his first reaction was excitement
for the opportunity in Phoenix.

Just spoke to Shaquille Harrison. He told me his improved shooting stroke
is going to shock a lot of people this year. Also mentioned to me how he's
been watching film on Patrick Beverley.

"The outside stuff don't bother me, because I worked hard to get to this
point, and I'm not going to let anything stop me from getting where I
want to go." Isaiah Canaan when asked about hearing names attached to
the #Suns PG position.

McDonough said Kokoskov is a creative coach. He estimated Kokoskov has
“100-plus plays” on his whiteboard.

“His system is predicated on a lot of side-to-side ball movement, a lot
of player movement,” McDonough said. “Multiple pick-and-roll actions.

Even if we might have a traditional point guard or established point
guard, he and his staff have been thinking all summer about creative
ways to get the ball moving side to side and get it in the hands of our
playmakers.”

“We use the term blender,” he said. “Drive-and-kick and (an) extra pass,
attacking from all different angles. Let ’em figure (it) out so it’s not
one guy on a spotlight and everyone standing and watching.”

“We’re trying to conceptually turn what you can call a weakness into a
strength,” Kokoskov said.
