Preseason Notebook: Shamet, Washington, Landale and a twitter dustup

Good day, sirs and ma’ams. I’ve made some mental notes over the past week or so of Phoenix Suns preseason basketball, so here you go.

Of course, you see the bottom line, that the starters in two games (22 minutes in game one, 25 minutes in game two) were less than stellar. Each time, they checked out with a deficit in the third quarter.
