Clark or Amundson?

[Austin]

He'll play 8 minutes a game to start and if he performs well, his minutes will improve. if he doesn't they may decrease. It's how anyone on the team works. If they do good, they get more minutes, if not, they get less. It's logic people, common!

[Mjee]

I agree with you but I see him playing 10-15 minutes per game......maybe more maybe less....it depends on if he produces. I don't even think Gentry knows how much Earl is going to play. We will just have to wait and see!

[impulsenine]

Stories in Canadian media have Dave Love, a shooting coach who runs camps up here, being hired as Sweet Lou's shooting coach. That's a good sign - I would think Nash had something to do with the hiring. he would know Dave from his involvement in basketball Canada.

Lou for MIP .... unless Duds wins it

Lou shooting well from the outside makes him 10x more useful than he is right now. That would be freaking AWESOME.

I <3 Lou, but if I ever see him playing center against a decent team, I will be very sad because something horrible has happened.

Yeah I don't see Clark getting a whole lot of minutes IF Amundson ends up getting the backup PF job.

Outside the backup PF job (along with some center minutes if Lopez decides to not show up in games), there won't be any time for Clark at small forward.

Why no small forward time? Because Hill, Dudley, and sometimes JRich (when Barbosa is playing SG) will gobble up all that time. And let's not forget garbage small forward minutes for Alando Tucker and Taylor Griffin.

Clark will definitely NOT play small forward as there is no time for him there. Remember, Dudley is well heralded this season and is supposed to be having a breakout year with his work ethic and increased load. All this when u still have Hill at small forward.

Clark at SF is impossible.

The only givens , minute wise for this team are Hill 20-25, Nash 30-35 and Amare 35-40.

the rest are up for grabs, and IMO, will be determined by WHO we are playing as much as HOW they (the rest of the Suns) are playing. Our strengths lie in mismatches.

I agree with you on that 100% there Frankie........

[WTFsunsFTW]

Barbosa is a 20+ given as well imo

[TASTIC]

I see them like this

Amare 34
JRich 33
Nash 31
Barbosa 28
Hill 28
Frye 24
Dudley 18
Dragic 16
Clark 14
Lopez 12
Lou 12
Tucker...meh
Griffin....meh

Something like that...I think we're going to see a lot of
Amare
Dudley/Clark
JRich
Barbosa
Nash

[Austin]

I don't think Dudley will play any power forward this season, but I do see that lineup with Clark to be played a bit, but I don't think it will be played a lot. Maybe once a game or once every couple games. replace JRich with Hill or Dudley, and that lineup will happen much more often I think.
