I thought the site wasn't going to update since Roland got hired by a team, but apparently it is, which is great.

To absolutely no ones surprise Nash is the best rated player. Followed a little surprisingly by Warrick. Not so much that he hasn't played well, but that his rating is so high.

And also to absolutely no one's surprise, Robin, Frye and Turk have been the worst players. Turk's played 48% of the PF minutes and he's been annihilated there defensively.

Five man units here. http://www.82games.com/1011/1011PHO2.HTM

Interesting to me that Nash and Childress have played almost no minutes together.

Yeah, Warrick's advanced stats are off the charts right now.

I would love to see Phoenix sub Warrick in at starting PF for Turkoglu, and increase Dudley's minutes.

Exactly, he should, and why is dumbass Gentry playing him there?! The Suns need to look up the definition of stupid!!! Turk is never going to perform at a 11 million dollar a year level playing the 4!!!??? I get so P'd when I see him out there guard GASOL or RANDOLPH!!!!

JChill needs more time, problem is JRich has more range and Chill has better def. We know which one plays in PHX!!

The experiment to try and play Hedo at the 4 is clearly not going to work. Totally different set-up, but this PF experiment reminds me of when Shaq first arrived and the Suns had him set-up offensively at the high post. They stuck with it for probably 15 games, then scrapped the idea and put him where Shaq is meant to be...down low.

Hedo can't be a 4 no matter how bad the need is at PF and the Suns have to accept the reality or they're not going to get anything substantial and consistant from him.

I'd like to see them at least try this...

Start- Nash/Richardson/Hill/Frye (at PF)/Lopez ...I like Hill starting over Turkoglu
Then shift to Nash/Richardson/Hedo/Warrick/and Frye moves to center

After that I don't know, because the #s logjam at SF is now even worse, but Turkoglu at PF (as every here knows) ain't going to work for him or the team.

It's clear a trade will have to happen, but until that can take place, I hope the Suns would try playing Frye at PF with Lopez at C. Up 'til this point Frye & Lopez are never on the court at the same time. Give it a try at least!

Just to emphasize a little more on how big of a failure Hedo at PF is. His opponent PER is 28.1.

To put that into perspective that means the Suns are having to face the equivalent of Karl Malone or Charles Barkley's best season (and I mean their actual best season) every time they step on the floor with Hedo there.
