AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

[Chicagojk]

Entertaining game last night. I only watched the PHX/GS game until half. It is tough to make much of GS. Draymond really is the engine for that team. His role is so important. GS is small though, like the Mavs. That could be an issue for them all year. One disappointment if I was a GS fan is Kuminga only got 20 minutes last night in a game without Draymond. I think for GS to be a contender they really need their youth to arrive and really force playing time. 20 minutes is dissapointing.

I thought Nurkic looked good in the minutes I saw. Okogie too. Okogie will play an important role. It appeared some of their bench minutes were troublesome but maybe having Beal back will hide some of that. Booker is really good.
