Amare in the Rookie Challenge tonight

JJ has been much more aggressive since the trade, so much of what you want is already done. The main reason he has regressed a bit the last 4 games is because Amare is back. He is no longer the focal point of the offense, and he has to adjust to a whole new system again.

Slin, I hate to say it since I would love an exciting player, but they really don't do much for you in terms of winning. Until they start counting great dunks as 5 pointers, I will take a guy that can put it in the basket however he pleases

But a great dunker gets his teammates fired up, gets the crowd fired up and draws some attention.

The Suns could also use that attitude of a player attacking the rim.

It is not like Iguodala for example can only dunk. He has so nice passing ability, defense ability, open court game, ball handling.

You will get at least an better Richard Jefferson out of him.

And he has similiar arms to Leandro.

JJ doesn't have that potential. Sure he dunks more often. But it is simple dunks almost every time really. He didn't really dunk on Yao, Yao was just close to him and he threw down a simple on hander.

Well yah, Iguodala does a lot.

You just said you wanted a 2 guard who could dunk really well, I just think that it is completely irrelevent to winning games.

I actually like Iguodala more for his defense than his dunks. It's nice that Jacobsen is a very good "team" defender, but sometimes it's preferable to have someone who has the athleticism to play man defense.

I just wish his jumper was more consistent, but then again Jordan was only an average shooter when he came out.

What's funny is that Hassan Adams actually would fit this team a lot better than Andre. Andre is almost an exact clone of Luke Walton, just with better athleticism. That's nice to have, but not exactly a need on this team.
