Brandon Robinson: Charles Barkley is a fan of Phoenix Suns big man Mason Plumlee and Plumlee apparently is a fan of Barkley too. Plumlee tells me this evening that he is appreciative of the Suns Hall of Famer. Plumlee on Barkley: “I’ve always appreciated him. I’ve also always respected him.” Plumlee had a double double this evening vs. the Utah Jazz and finished with 15 points and 14 rebounds in the Suns’ 120-112 win.
Gerald Bourguet: Mason Plumlee on the importance of screening for this Suns team: “It’s super important, and yeah, it’s an underrated part of the game. You aren’t turning on SportsCenter to watch somebody set screens, but it’s important. And I think we have guards that screen really well too.” pic.x.com/xmqmzdxJqc
Gerald Bourguet: I asked Mason Plumlee about the impact he, Royce O’Neale and Ryan Dunn have had off the bench: “Royce has been amazing in 4 games, and we have a deep team. So I think you’ll see even more than the guys you named step up throughout the year and do things for us.” pic.x.com/Qb5jo9piRA
Gerald Bourguet: Mason Plumlee on Jusuf Nurkic and how his 3-ball is looking: “He’s been great. I think he’s gonna fit really well with what coach is trying to do. He’s shot the ball really well since I’ve been here.”

Mason Plumlee elected as Secretary-Treasurer for NBPA
Adrian Wojnarowski: Phoenix Suns center Mason Plumlee was elected as a Secretary-Treasurer in @TheNBPA officer elections today, sources tell ESPN. He’ll begin a three-year tenure as part of the union’s leadership.
Gerald Bourguet: When I told Mason Plumlee he had the most rim contests per 75 possessions last year, he laughed: “I don’t know advanced stats that well, but that’s what I’m here to do….never been an elite shot-blocker, but to alter, make finishing tougher around the rim, is really important”
Gerald Bourguet: Mason Plumlee on reconnecting with his former Nuggets teammate Monte Morris: “Monte is such an underrated player. I have so much respect for him….I didn’t know that he was coming here, but I’m thrilled that he signed with the Suns”
