The roster as it stands now

[Dr. Dumas]

Is it just me or are we heavy on wings with little depth at point and center? I guess that's a reflection of the league when you're looking for athleticism though.

You are correct that we are thin in those areas. However, DA is going to go with the best five regardless of position. So even though we are thin on backup point and center, I'm not sure sure it's going to make a difference with how DA runs this team.

I agree as well.

However, if Lonnie Jones is an athletic big man that can rebound, perhaps score a little and rip a few heads off, I'm for finding room on the Suns roster somewhere for him.

Actually, I think Joe Mama knows Lonnie Jones better than most. I've never even seen Jones play except to notice he played well in last year's summer leagues.

then I have to admit that actually I know Lonnie Jones game only a little better than you. I've seen him play a couple times, and I followed his summer league games box scores last summer.

I know he's athletic. I know he's got a 9-4 standing reach, and he blocked a lot of shots last summer. He also rebounded well.

Get Lonnie Jones!

The Suns' only backup PF/C are Brian Grant and Pat Burke. Another quality PF/C would be nice.

The Suns other backup PF's look suspiciously like SF's - Marion and Jones.

Why thank you. I happen to agree with that as well.

Count me in, I am a big Stephan Graham fan.

We don't have any information on who will be invited to camp. Typically there are about 4 or 5 guys, so Stephen Graham and Lonnie Jones are certainly camp posibilities.
