    • Benjamin Garcia: Host voices an imagined listener's objection that Luke Kennard will come off the bench. This is a rhetorical counterpoint, not a reported lineup decision. at 6:26

    • Benjamin Garcia: Host approves of every offseason contract and move (Kennard, Gillespie, Goodwin, Williams) except the Bridges trade, because of what was given up. at 19:27

    • Host's projected bench lineup: Collin Gillespie, Luke Kennard, Jalen Green, Khaman Maluach and Ryan Dunn. at 10:33
    • Host's description from video: Luke Kennard drove to the basket on two defenders and appeared to land awkwardly on his foot. The host says it looked like non-contact, but the angle was poor and he may have stepped on someone. at 13:34
    • Jordan Ott (reported): Head coach Jordan Ott said he talked to Kennard after the game and that Kennard seemed to be in good spirits. at 14:32
    • Host's read: the Suns seem to have avoided anything major with Kennard for now, but nothing is confirmed until an MRI or similar. at 14:40
    • Kennard took only two three-pointers in the game and missed both (0-for-2). at 17:13
    • Host's view: coming off the bench, Kennard needs to take about eight three-pointers a night. at 16:49
    • Host names Kennard, Collin Gillespie and, to an extent, Jordan Goodwin as the shooters. He says it is crazy to rely on Goodwin as the catalyst three-point shooter. at 16:27

    • Benjamin Garcia: Kennard attempted 10 threes and made 4. The host cares more about the volume than the makes. at 1:48
    • Benjamin Garcia: The host calls Kennard an elite shooter who historically doesn't take many threes. He says Kennard hasn't averaged more than three three-point attempts a game in the last two seasons and wants him to become a high-volume, unafraid shooter. at 26:51
    • Jordan Goodwin (reported): The host relays that Jordan Goodwin said on a podcast ('the old man in the three') that coach Jordan Ott wants him shooting a lot of threes. Goodwin said no previous coach had encouraged that. The host says Goodwin shot 4.3 threes a game last year, by far his career high, and hopes Ott can do the same for Kennard. at 28:23
