Simmons on the Suns

And he is still not a starting C.

But Foyle certainly could be a starter, especially on a team that doesn't need him to score much. He played 20+ minutes per game and was more likely to be on the floor in the fourth quarter than Dampier.

I would love to have Foyle on the Suns, but I don't see how it could happen.

I completely agree, I was just wondering why isn't he a starter in GSW.

Is Foyle really as active as Voshkul? I haven't watched him play much, but he seems like a bruiser more than an energy guy and hustles for loose balls and rebounds and occasionally scores some points on put backs and layups. I also don't remember Foyle being very quick or agile and I think little Jake has those qualities for a center.

Foyle is even more active and agile than Voskuhl.
Plus he is more athletic what shows also in his rebounding and shotblocking numbers.

From what I have seen of Foyle, I agree with you -- he isn't as quick on his feet, and I think he's more of a bruiser. He can run the floor, though, and he's certainly more athletic than Tsakalidis, Williams, or Gugliotta. He's also a better shot-blocking presence than anyone currently on the Suns.

Dampier's not a bad player either, but other than that, I don't know. By the way sometimes Dampier and Foyle are on the floor at the same time, but I've only seen that a couple of times.

Foyle would be nice, but I don't think he's a free agent. The Phoenix Suns would have to make a trade with Golden State to get him.

He also has a nice ten foot jumper that surprises people
