They they are just not quite organized in anything that they're doing. And if it was one thing. If it was one element that I could point to, and I was like, that's not organized. I almost always give franchises the benefit of the doubt on this stuff because they know what's going on behind the scenes in a way that none of us on the outside ever could, no matter how plugged in we are.

No matter how plugged in we are, they just are there. They know it. And there's always something or often something that we can't even think of or surmise that's happening that makes it make sense. Because normally things that happen make sense. So when it happens one time, I tend to give places the benefit of the doubt and be like, okay, you know what? We don't know. We don't know everything.

When it's happening perpetually is when you're like, okay, what's going on here? And why is this happening? And that's kind of where I'm at with the Suns right now.

I knew he was going to be really good his rookie year during that first round series. The Clippers played against the Warriors. Yeah. If you remember that series, he started in that series and he was so composed throughout that entire series. And if you remember that series, that was the year before the Clippers got Paul George and Kawhi. So it's like post Blake Griffin series.

And the Clippers are the scrappy upstart team that wins 48 games. And everybody's surprised that they win 48 games and they kind of take the world by shock. Right. And they end up playing a really competitive series against the against the Warriors. And this is the KD Warriors in the first round of the playoffs. I think they won two games in that series. And Shea was just making every right read.

He was getting the ball on a catch and go. He was hitting the paint, and he was reading the low man, and he was kicking to the corner. He was making every proper read he was supposed to make. And I was like, you can't speed this guy up. And I think that's probably the moment when I realized – all right, this guy's pace is something a little different.

You're not going to make him play at your pace, no matter the scenario. I think that's probably when I noticed he was going to be really good. That being said, I didn't sit there in that moment and say, this guy's going to be an MVP one day. I did not think that highly of him in that moment. I don't think the Clippers thought that either.
