Or does Joe Johnson seem like a teenager everytime he is interviewed? He seems to be growing up in front our eyes, and I'm excited by how much more he can grow up.

IMO, outside of Stoudemire, he is our most exciting young player. Barbosa is close, but I love the fundamentals that Joe brings to the table. Barbosa seems to get by on pure athleticism, while Joe hardly uses his.

I want the Suns to keep this guys together for years. JJ could be the outside shooting threat, Barbosa the distributor/slasher, and Amare the finisher/ lowpost threat. Even though I love Marbury, this team excites me more.

Most posters on this forum are counting on a huge impact from Vujanic, but I'm not. With our lotter pick(s), Barbosa, JJ, Amare, Zarko, and caproom, we'll be ok even without him.

I agree.

I remember when my friend, that does not really follow basketball, came over and was watching the game while I complained about JJ's play. "He looks like a kid!" he said. After half a second of thought I replied "Umm actually he is". I have tried to keep that in mind since then how young JJ really is. Right now he is playing like a guy to build a team around and I see no reason that won't continue and improve over time.

I don't know if I am convinced Barbosa is a starting PG but he is also still very young and may suprise me yet.

I am much more excited about the team since the Marbury trade. I had grown very weary of the Suns with Marbury without fully realizing why. They will need Amare to play well to win consistantly but this team could be very exciting to watch.
