I knew KJ, Kidd and Nash were on the team but not Cassel, Nash didnt get much PT his rookie season but did they run a 2 PG game almost all 48 minutes every game? What type of lineup did they have?

Meh Ford/Calderon is better.

Cassell was traded for Kidd so they never played together. But yes all four of them were on the Suns during that season.

Cassell was an alien back then.

Yup. And people wonder why Nash didn't earn playing time right away. 
Funny though, as good of an NBA player as Nash has proven to be, you have to wonder about Phoenix spending their 1st round pick on a point guard with all the talent they had.

BPA, I guess. Worked out well in the end; they traded Nash for the pick that returned Marion.

kj was intense.. a lot of people are saying cp3 is the 2nd coming of isiah but strictly statistics cp3 is pretty close to KJ too.

Management obviously saw something, when you are a sick shooter and distributor, and above average height for a PG, you're gonna be something.

Well I've got no question about what they saw in him, just whether that was the best choice for their team.
