D.J. can play

I think we are starting to get some (summer) certainties from Vegas and one is that D.J. Strawberry can play and I think has a solid chance to make the roster comes October.

In the Suns 85-89 loss to the Blazers the Straw scored 27 with 8 assists (along with 6 TO to be precise) and had more rebounds than Tucker (ok...that's 2-1 in favour of D.J.).
Speaking of boards I think Tucker could be much better, Alando has just 2.5 rebounds per game in the first 4 summer games while playing over 32 minutes a night. The other Summer Suns starting forward Otis George had 10 last night and is averaging 8.8 per game.

I think rebounding could be a big key, comes training camp, for those hoping to make the Suns roster for next season.

The last game of the Vegas campaign is tonight (Sunday) at 5 PM vs the Hornets. It should be live on NBA TV.

One last note, if you didn't have a chance to listen to Grant Hill introduction press conference, Just Do It ! The man is very entertaining and it's a funny 21 minutes and makes you count the days till Opening Day (it's more or less 150 days just in case)

Go Suns !
