LAS VEGAS — When it was over Sunday night, Suns players basked in their overtime victory over the Knicks. They privately made comments about how much easier it was to guard the much-hyped 6-foot-7 sniper RJ Barrett than they thought, according to an NBA source.
The Suns made Barrett look bad — just as the Pelicans did. The common refrain is summer league is not to be taken too seriously, but the Knicks have usually seen their recent lottery picks shine in this spotlight.
Kristaps Porzingis looked solid in 2015, Kevin Knox was terrific last July.
