Realistic Expectations for Phoenix Suns Rookie Marquese Chriss in 2016-17

The upside of Marquese Chriss was on display in Las Vegas in short glimpses.

In the NBA Summer League opener against the Portland Trail Blazers, Chriss had a drive from the top of the key where he went behind the back and between the legs with his dribble, then sped past former Maryland wing Jake Layman, spun as he approached the rim and scored on a layup.

One night later against the Boston Celtics, Chriss jumped from a flat-footed stance, caught a missed Devin Booker three-pointer with one hand and dunked it in one motion.
