I know we had one of these topics over the summer, but since its close to the start of the season, I'd like to hear everyone's opinion on the rotation and how minutes will be divided up.

After hearing, and reading a bunch of interviews with coaches, players, etc, this is my prediction on Suns rotation.

Ideal Rotation
Point Guard
Steve Nash- 30 minutes Goran Dragic- 14 minutes Leandro Barbosa- 4 minutes
Shooting Guard
Jason Richardson- 28 minutes Leandro Barbosa- 20 minutes
Small Forward
Grant Hill-28 minutes Jared Dudley-18 minutes Earl Clark- 2 minutes
Power Forward
Amare Stoudemire-24 minutes Channing Frye-12 minutes Earl Clark-12 minutes
Center
Channin Frye-12 minutes Amare Stoudemire-12 minutes Louis Amundson-12 minutes Robin Lopez-12 minutes

Realistic Rotatioin
Steve Nash-32 Goran Dragic-8 Leandro Barbosa-8
Jason Richardson-32 Leandro Barbosa-16
Grant Hill-29 Jared Dudley-19
Amare Stoudemire-38 Earl Clark-10
Channing Frye-28 Louis Amundson-12 Robin Lopez-8

What are your opinions.

Also, what do you guys think the Suns scoring average will be this year too..?

i see ur Realistic rotation happening
as for scoring averages

Nash - 16.9ppg
jrich - 20.2ppg
Hill - 12.5ppg
Stat - 24.3ppg
Frye - 14.2ppg
------------------------------------
Dragic - 5.3ppg
LB - 18.2ppg
Dudley - 7.2ppg
Clark - 4.2 ppg
Lou - 3.9 ppg
RoLo - 2.4 ppg
-----------------------------------
suns average 129.3 ppg? lol

i think its very possible for them to average that amount of points. they averaged 118 when gentry took over without amare, now we got frye.... amare said at media day when he answered the question what will the suns average during the season he said just add ten after the 118ppg from last season with gentry lol

Nash 17ppg
Richardson 21 ppg
Hill 11 ppg
Amare 25 ppg
Frye 12 ppg

Dragic 2.5 ppg
Barbosa 15 ppg
Dudley 8 ppg
Clark 2.5 ppg
Amundson 6 ppg
Rolo 2.5 ppg

120ish ppg sounds good (2lazy for math)

^^ ummm... #'s for Dragic, Rolo, and Clark are WAYYY low...

What I am hoping to see

PG: Nash 31 minutes, Dragic 14 minutes, LB 3 minutes
SG: Richardson 25 minutes, LB 23 minutes
SF: Hill 27 minutes, Dudley 18 minutes, Richardson 3 minutes
PF: Amare 35 minutes, Clark 10 minutes, Amundson 3 minutes
C: Frye 28 minutes, Lopez 9 minutes, Amundson 11 minutes

Nash: 14 PPG
Richardson: 17 PPG
Hill: 10 PPG
Amare: 27 PPG
Frye: 12 PPG

LB: 18 PPG
Dragic: 6 PPG
Dudley: 7 PPG
Clark: 4 PPG
Lou: 2 PPG
Lopez: 2 PPG

Around 120sh a game

I agree with pretty much all of the rotations as potential rotations during games, so I won't post mine, because they'll be very close to everyone else's. I'll just post PPG

Nash: 15
JRich: 20
Hill: 9
Amare: 25
Frye: 9

Dragic: 5
LB: 17
Dudley: 6
Clark: 6
Lou: 4
Lopez: 4

Total: 120PPG

Frye 12pts 7reb
Amare 24pts 9reb 1.5blk
Hill 12pts 4reb 3asst 1stl
JRich 20pts 6reb 2asst 1stl

Dudley 7pts 4reb 2asst
Dragic 6pts 3reb 2asst
Clark 7pts 3reb
Lou 6pts 5reb 1blk
Lopez 5pts 4reb 1blk

Nash will shoot less, getting the others more involved = more assists

Not that I would ever doubt such an informed fellow as yerself, but doesn't that add up to 130 pts per game?

Well yeah, but add up last year's and I bet it's around there too. players miss games Johnny boy...
As well as rounding...Swedish to be exact...

I think we average 118...and give up 114...
