The threat at the basket is huge, but can the Suns inside star who lacks shooting ability compete in the No. 4 position?
In a previous NBA summer league game, the Minnesota Timberwolves narrowly defeated the Phoenix Suns 89-85 after a hard battle. After this game, the Timberwolves won four consecutive victories in the summer league, with their current record of 4 wins and 0 losses, while the Suns' record has dropped to 1 wins and 3 losses.
In this game, although the Suns lost the game, the team's starting power forward Oso Ighodaro performed well. Iguodaro played 30 minutes and 50 seconds in the game, made 7 of 10 shots, 0 of 1 from outside the three-point line, and 3 of 10 free throws, scoring 17 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and had 4 turnovers and 1 foul. The plus and negative values also reached the highest +10 in the team. Iguodaro also showed quite good scoring ability at the basket on the offensive end, and he also created a huge threat to the opponent's inside. If Iguodaro can improve his outside shooting stability, his data can be further improved. In addition, Iguodaro has also shown some passing and support abilities, and his offensive functions are indeed quite comprehensive. The situation of the team was also quite outstanding when Iguodaro was on the court. Unfortunately, many of the team's players performed very poorly, and his efforts could not help the team turn the situation around.
Summer League so far, Iguodaro has averaged 29.3 minutes in the first four games, with averaging 12.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks, and 3.5 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. His shooting percentage is 57.1%, a three-point shooting percentage is 0%, and a free throw shooting percentage is 47.4%. Iguodaro's overall performance in the summer league is still good. He still maintains good scoring ability at the basket, and his offensive efficiency is still relatively stable. His performance on the defensive end is actually beyond everyone's expectations. He also has a large defensive coverage area. However, Iguodaro still has some problems with his performance in turnover control, and his ability to shoot from outside has not improved at all.
From the current situation, considering that the Suns have many strong players in the No. 5 position, if Iguodaro wants to get a stable playing time and the opportunity to enter the rotation lineup in the new season, he also needs to find a way to perform better at the No. 4 position and prove that he has the ability to provide more support to the team at the No. 4 position. The current problem for Iguodaro is still that he lacks basic shooting ability, and his space on the court will also be limited, which will also affect the performance of the team's outside players. I don’t know what adjustments the Suns will make to the rotation lineup next. Can Iguodaro’s performance help him gain the trust of the Suns coaching staff? Will he appear more in the fourth position in the new season?
