My observation is the Suns primarily want to play two centers, Plumlee and Len. The Suns do not want to use the fouls up on each player early because Hornacek like to rotate the players to give them rest.
That was the case for a few short games, but it did not last long.

In recent games, Markieff has been the finisher at Center, making Marcus the finisher at Power Forward and Green the finisher at Small Forward, so we could finish with both Dragic and Bledsoe at Guard.

When Thomas returns, it will only put more pressure on Hornacek to keep the closing front court that way. A Power Forward, a Small Forward, a Wing and two Point Guards.

And if Green is not hot, it will be a Power Forward and Small Forward and three Point Guards, as it has been on occasion in the past.

The Suns have dug a hole for themselves as the season moves on.

You know the one thing all of you are forgetting about? Wins. Hornacek wants to win, as does McD, Dragic, Mark West, the night janitor and Marge the ticket-seller. The more wins, the more money for them. Just ask Robert Sarver.

If a high-volume fouling center costs wins, how can you justify a professional NBA team playing him regardless of fouls? It just isn't going to happen unless you're the 76ers.

Yea but Len played a grand total of 11 mins. Even players who pick up 2 fouls quick play way more minutes than that.
