Duane Rankin: Asked Jordan Ott why he hasn't given rookie Rasheer Fleming a chance to guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander considering he has size, length, athleticism. "All things are on the table. Game 1, we liked what we saw.
Game 2, he got free a little bit and last game, we tried to put our center (Oso Ighodaro) on him. That's as much size a we have. Every option is in there.
Kind of gone through it all in our heads and then when it unfolds, try the best we can. " Gilgeous Alexander scored game-high 42 points in Game 3 after going for 37 in Game 2. Ott added Suns are looking to get the ball out of Gilgeous-Alexander's hands.
"The best thing is to try to get the ball out of his hands. No matter how much size we have, it'd be nice if he doesn't touch it. That's what we're going to try a little bit tonight.
Again, he's one of the best at just getting to tight spaces and shooting over you. They've moved him obviously from the middle of the floor to kind of the side. At this point, everything is on the table.
