Leandro Barbosa

[sunsfn]

I have just returned to my computer after getting upset about all the Marion trades, and, after eating 3 Krispy Kremes I have a much better outlook on things.......

Barbosa stat sheet last night,
37 min., 9-14, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, 21 points, and, "4" steals!!

Barbosa had a heck of a night and played in the 4th quarter.

Barbosa looks like a greyhound out there and is a nightmare for opposing teams to handle.

I believe he will be a very good point guard because he is willing to give up the ball and it looks like he is finding the open player now. Barbosa is not an 18 year old kid, and although he is still young, (21 on 11/03) he has played a couple years longer than most of the foreign players that are drafted. Once he learns the suns offense and defense and also learns the NBA game he will be very good.
I think next year will be very interesting to see how Vujanic and Barbosa play together. I am betting they will do it very well.
It sounds like they will both be combo guards.

I am very excited about a guard rotation of JJ, Barbosa, Vujanic, CJ, Howard Eiseley :-(, and possibly a swingman from the draft or free agency.

It was without a doubt his best game of the season. He sometimes gets abused by more experienced PG's, but I think is going to a big part of the Suns future either starting or as a high energy sixth man.

I love watching Barbosa he isn't a ball hog or anything. What a great move getting him in the draft

I also love his game. Every mistake he makes is just due to him going full tilt.

He's going to have a bright future.

I am very excited about next season.

Barbosa gets steals, hits 3's well. and is way fast. We havent seen Vujanic yet, but he is supposed to be good enough to start OVER Barbosa. If Vujanic is a better PG than Barbosa we would have one heck of a PG rotation. Not to mention Barbosa can play SG also, along with JJ. Those 3 guys have a ton of potential...

Utah showed how rotating two PGs can be very effective.
