Who Would You Rather Have Guarding Opposing Centers?

[Rod700]

Based SOLELY on their performance during their time as a Phoenix Sun, which player do you think would be best at guarding opposing teams' centers?

[Fo-Real]

I would say Kurt Thomas/ Second Uncle Cliffy/ Mark West, but he got called for a foul last week during a game and he was in the sky box. Refs. called him for fouls when he was on the bench sometimes (not joking), he could never stay in a game.

Lang was as dumb as a box of rocks.

Didn't see Silas play for us so can't comment.

Loved Nance (who ironically got traded for my fave player) ... I would pick him closely followed by Cliff Robinson. Nance had a bit more size and was a better rebounder. If we are talking C's then you could also make the case for Kurt over Cliff.

IIRC, Lang really only had one good season for us (he took West's mins). Strangely that season might have been very valuable for the Suns because he was packaged with Hornacek and pieces for Barkley the next season.

Shaq.

Silas was one tough hombre but only about 6'9" as I recall. Don't recall him ever being listed as a centre - that said, he would knock most big men down to size.
he was up there with Unseld and Willis for tough

I like Kurt Thomas the best even better than Shaq, because Thomas can aleast guard the pick and roll

Silas was a pretty crusty dude
