Davon Reed nailed a 3-pointer late in the third quarter against Sacramento on Saturday night. Suns head coach Igor Kokoskov nodded in approval.
Moments later, Reed used his seven-foot wingspan to disrupt Cameron Reynolds’ dribble on the other end of the court, dived after the loose ball and forced a turnover.
Kokoskov moved forward clapping loudly in approval.
Reed ended up near the coach’s feet after he stopped sliding after the ball, and Kokoskov enthusiastically helped him up from behind.
That is a microcosm of what Suns fans can expect from the first-year coach. Kokoskov has built his reputation in the past five years by leading teams with aggressive defenses.
