i'd rather he continue to perform well until we offload markieff. then he can crash and burn.

Wow. That's the most encouraging thing I've seen written about the Suns in YEARS.

Their record doesn't reflect it. Maybe they are about to go on a winning streak.
Go Suns!

They just ended a 3 game winning streak.

Yeah, the Suns are all alone in that they hit all 3 venn diagrams.

Very Arizona Cardinals-esque. Top 3 in offense and defense (Cardinals). Usually a recipe for success.

Phoenix Suns dual playmaker "system" generating All-Star stats for Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight: LINK (I added the quotes.)

With Bleds and Knight being young and under contract, and Goodwin and Booker on the bench, I feel pretty good about the state of our backcourt for the next few years.

Tucker, Morris, and Chandler are place holders. I have no idea what our front court will look like in a few years, but hopefully Warren and Len are a part of it and playing at a very high level. They're both have lots of the P-word.

Yes, the frontcourt is definitely going to take some work. Other than Chandler, Warren and Len I don't think there's much worth planning on keeping.

We need a 4 of the future in the worst way. I wish that could have been Markieff, but he's tainted now.

Leuer is pretty decent for a backup. He plays the right way, moving, passing the ball and can do a little of everything, even a bit of driving. To boot, he is making half of his 3pts.

One way to solidify the frontcourt could be adding a real starter SF or a tweener SF/PF, and using PJ Tucker at the 4 some minutes every game. Tucker seems to have lost one step laterally to guard quicker wings, but being that strong and active I believe he'd have success against certain PFs.

Great article. Really rooting for B. Knight. I think he's a better player then Bledsoe, although Eric has looked great this yr too. Suns need a low post presence, but the backcourt is rounding into shape.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

So many (almost everybody here) writing off Knight and wanting the draft pick. Knight is looking dang good. A bird in the hand folks.
