A note,
I know we think of Chandler as the guy who isn't part of the rebuilding sqaud and is sort of the rented experienced older locker room guy who takes minutes from Len. Havng said that Chandler has to go down as the best rebounding Center in Suns history. His offense is limited to alley oops or put backs but, he has totally cleaned the boards this year and plays defense. The history of Suns Centers is sad. Its almost always our weakest position. I liked the Polish Hammer the best of all our Centers and rate Chandler as #2 on the list. Len is up there but, I feel like the jury is still out on him. Shaq was the most famous Center but, he was on his last legs and became a circus side show when he was here. L** L******, Mark West, Oliver Miller, Lampe, Santiago, Jermaine O'Neil?
Chandler is meat and potatoes and 12 board a game. Just thought I would give credit where it's due.
Totally agree about Chandler. Last season he had the Sun's all-time best season in rebound percentage when he grabbed 19.3% of all rebounds while he was on the floor. This season, he is grabbing 23.1%, which will be a career high for him if he can keep it up. He won't get the most rebounds overall, because he won't play the minutes. But in his time on the floor, he really gets it done.
And I'd like to clarify my position on the Chriss / Watson thing, because a few people have commented similar to what you said right after my doom-and-gloom posts.
I don't have a big problem with the play Chriss made. My problem is with the way Watson talked about it.
