The Republic talked with Jock Landale about being traded to Phoenix, role with the Suns, his already go-to coffee stop in the Valley and much more.
That’s what Jock Landale looks to deliver at an even higher level for Phoenix Suns after his rookie season in San Antonio.
The Republic caught up with the 26-year-old Australian weeks before training camp to talk about battles against the Suns last season, his path to Phoenix, connecting with new teammates, his mate, former Suns big Aron Baynes, returning from paralysis after spinal cord injury — and adjusting to the Valley heat. JL:
The Suns have won more regular-season games the last two seasons combined than any team in the league . We’ve been training at the facility a lot. To elaborate again on how serious people are taking this winning mentality that’s in play right now, there’s a lot of off-site workouts going on where it’s just kind of put together by the players. We’re already doing a lot as is as an organization, but we’re taking it outside of that as well. Make sure we’re ready when the season comes. We can hit the ground running. Things are really moving.
Biyombo posted a double-double of 17 points on 8-of-10 shooting and 14 boards in Phoenix’s 121-107 win Jan. 17 at San Antonio. DR: Have you at all talked with Gregg Popovich about Monty either before or since you ended up in Phoenix?DR: I didn’t know, but because they’re close, I just figured that may have happened. "I got a call from Pop when I was traded to Atlanta and he just kind of worded me up on them, but then they had nothing to do with me then going to Phoenix.
