Sounds like he's putting a lot of focus into Marcus Banks. If he can do for Banks what Dan D'An did for Barbosa, this was a great addition.

Absolutely.

I think working with Marcus Banks is going to be a goal for me, I want his abilities to help the team. He’s so talented but I think he hasn’t found where he fits in on this team and I want to help him find that.

Perhaps as a former point guard, Humphries may be able to communicate with the Suns PG/Combos in a way that Dan really cannot. At some point being a point guard in the NBA is something that a former HS coach is not going to be qualified to teach.

If Humphries can help these guys to make the transition to being real playmakers, it would be huge. If anything, improved playmaking skills would greatly enhance the skill sets of guys like Bell and Marion too.

I don't know how much he knows about defense, but certainly playing with Jerry Sloan might have rubbed off on him. Let's hope.
