This is 2 stops and scores away from being done...

Nice board by Wright. Went up between 2 Wolves defenders.

Let's open this up a little more and then get Ennis some run.

Green on fire. When he's on he's money. Glad coach knows when he's off and pulls him.

This Wright guy just might be a wise acquisition... Interesting.

Yeah guys. Come on. We could have had the plodding and decrepit Jermaine O'Neal out there.

Our 3 headed bigman is doing pretty damn good, I'd say.

They may have solved one of my pet peeves for the last 40 years - not enough decent centers on the roster.

it helps the suns stave off injury issues to have three kinda similar types of center/PF (at varying degrees of quality). if you lose len, just plug in plumlee or wright and the team doesnt suffer very much.

these three do somethings well (rebound, blocks, dunks), but not in others (outside shooting, back to the basket scoring).
