The poll is up for favorite Suns players of all time. If option allowed me to list 20-25 names I gladly would but can only post 10 players. Honorable mentions: Hawkins, Chambers, W. Davis, Ayton, J. Johnson, J-Rich, Frye, Q-Rich, Kidd, Chapman, Hill, Westphal, Adams, Majerle, Cliffy, Diaw, Ceballos, Penny Hardaway, Amundson and so on...

You could pick up to 3 players on the poll. If your player isn't on the list you can list on here. Cheers.

Raja Bell would be my no. 3

Not going to lie, this current Pacer's team has me a bit concerned. Because they are basically using 2nd, 3rd, and 4th string players, they are harder to scout. They play hard, and all trying to make a name for themselves. Can't shoot like we did last night. If we play good team basketball, we should win.

Chris Paul would place on this list for me already. Poll fail for not including him imo.

Pacers scrubs played great last night. Suns need to stay focused and handle business. I still hold Ayton out till the Utah games.

I went with Nash/Amare/Bell.

I was hoping for GHill and Westphal, but If Nash was all I could have, then so be it. KJ would be next on my list, followed by a bunch of dirt workers.

I'm redoing the polls one last time. Hopefully at least 90% of posters can somewhat agree on their favorite players.

Should have an "other" option as there are older generation players worth note and missing.

Barkley by far, best player in franchise history on the best team in franchise history - he beat the GOAT head to head for MVP, beat the GOAT era team to team for best record and then almost took them down for the championship bar some silly Suns defenders.

Yeah, still Nash.

But this team might be my favorite.

Book already in my top 3 Suns players ever.

For me CP3/Barkley/KJ (Nash was close)

This team is closing in on my favorite Suns team ever too.

Hard to pick three, but I went with Nash, Grant Hill, and Mikal Bridges (other).

Post #17 » by **bwgood77** » Sat Jan 22, 2022 8:59 pm

Yeah, I was wondering why Bell was on it rather than Bridges.

KJ, because he came and took the team after a drug scandal and 27 or 28 wins to 55 and the WCF, losing to Magic and the Showtime Lakers (in his 2nd year), but then the next year knocked out that same team who had just won the title and Magic the MVP in 5 games.

Led the team to 2 WCF his 2nd and 3rd year. They added Barkley later and only got to the WCF once...the did also make the finals but never even got as far as the WCF after that in his 4 years, and the 8 seed once.

Nash might be second but 2nd is kind of tough. I really liked Marion and Amare as well.

Pacers are listing Malcolm Brogdon and Caris LeVert as questionable tonight against the Suns. They are already without Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner, T.J. Warren and T.J. McConnell.

I'm seeing Deandre Ayton walking around fine and in the back doing work with strength and conditioning.

He's out for tonight's game, but should be back sooner than later. #Suns
