The Phoenix Suns are treating this year’s Summer League as their first go-around implementing their new system by head coach Igor Kokoskov in game action. That meant plenty of learning curves to be expected, but the Summer Suns had strong moments throughout their opening win over the Dallas Mavericks.
However, the two main players I wanted to focus in on were the ones selected by Phoenix right after Deandre Ayton: Mikal Bridges and Elie Okobo.
It seemed by the end of third quarter Okobo had already won over Suns fans in attendance while displaying an array of playmaking skills that flashed for Pau-Orthez in France.
