you are right that its the best weapon the suns have but i doubt they wont use it at all. maybe not as often as during the dantoni era but we'll see it for sure.

Well we're gonna be forced to run the PNR a lil less since we're gonna give Nash less playtime, and he's the only guard on the team that can run it effectively (unless Dragic learns how to run it quickly and develops his jump shot that is).

But I sure hope that we won't be running the pick n roll any less WHILE Nash is on the floor, cuz it's easily our most dangerous offensive weapon, with Amare who masters it like no other, and to a lesser extent Diaw and maybe Lopez dangerous in it as well...

I wouldn't read much into it, the PnR is the most commonly run play in all of basketball and, at last check, represented something like 70% of the plays run by teams in the NBA and most other professional leagues.

They'll probably have some more off-ball junk and whatever, sure, but it's not that meaningful a statement to make.

they also wanna rest nash more and noone thinks thats likely to happen. lets take it all with a grain of salt. we'll see in time.

I think it's a given that there will always be PnR plays with the Suns. Its our most dangerous weapon and have the two best people at running it. It would be a waste to not use it.

The PNR was successful this past 4 years so I dont see why we wont keep doing it. Hopefully Drajic masters it and starts doing it pretty soon with Amare.

more than PNR, i would love to see us get that 3 point shot back. Last year was a horrible year for us shooting the 3, compare the Nash's previous 3 years. Hopefully with Barnes and Dragic and with Belll getting his shot back we can make things happen from the out side. Last year it seemed as if Bell missed every crucial 3 pointer. It was painfull watching that.
