Anyone remember what that stat was about Gortat having the most double doubles for the Suns since AC Green 17 years ago?

Does anyone know why Gortat isn't being talked about as a 6th man of the year candidate? Little bit of trivia, the Suns have the most players to ever win the award with 4.

I don't know about 6th man cause Odom, Terry may all have better chances simply because of their record.

But I think Gortat is a solid canditate for Most Improved Player. It would be a close one between him and Kevin Love.

The Suns opponents in the last 6 games have all shot 46% (rounding) or better. Hmmm.

Nice win for the suns vs the raptors, it was so cool to see Carter hiting those shots and getting all the steals in the 1st qtr, also we are such a better rebounding team now with Gortat guy is fun to watch he brings it every game.
Hopefully Brooks brings good gameplay to the bench when he suits up for the suns can't wait!!! Gj suns woot

Because his body of work over the year does not yet warrant it.

How do you figure? Tops in the league in double-doubles off the bench--and that is in HALF as many games as the #2 guy, Lamar Odom. (Technically, he's played in just as many games, but all his great games have happened since he came over in the trade--and I don't see a letup for the next couple months, do you?)
