There are good and bad for both teams but it seriously looks like the Phoenix Suns just pulled a fast one on the Charlotte Bobcats. Teams are made up of starting 5 players and first 2 off the bench. With Barnes/Hill experiment this really eliminated the need for Diaw to get minutes in the 3. So he was limited to backing up Amare/Shaq which would ultimately underdevelope Lopez. This is a good move on Suns behalf if they utilize Lopez correctly.
Dudley has to be here because of Grants struggles. There are red flags everywhere on this, simply because Dudley is a formidable 3.
The Suns get
- more Athletic
- more range
- back into health
- better contract scenario
- better starting 5
- better matchup with taller 2s in the conference.
