With Tyus Jones and Monte Morris, the Suns now have the two best players in assist-to-turnover ratio running their offense.
Scoring will be a lot easier for Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal with two smart playmakers always on the floor setting them up. pic.twitter.com/q8Ct98LsM4 – 4:09 PM

The USA’s all-time leading scorer, who is aiming to become the first player to win four gold medals, missed all of Team USA’s preparatory games this summer due to a calf injury. However, Durant practiced on Wednesday, participated in a scrimmage on Thursday, and is scheduled to practice again on Saturday. “We’ll see how things go in practice,” said Kerr. “So far, so good. He came through the scrimmage two days ago pretty well. Having coached him before, he’s one of the few guys I’ve been around who can step back onto the court and immediately look like Kevin Durant, a player of his caliber. Most players would need some time to get their rhythm back, and he will too to some extent. But he’s pretty special.” -via EuroHoops.net / July 27, 2024
