what are the suns trying build this team to be?

[scotsman13]

over the past couple years i have seen a type of player that the suns have tried to bring in from both the draft and as free agents. they have worked hard to bring in players who play with emotion. it all started with amare. nash and q both play full out and show their emotions on their sleeves.

this team is going to be a team that does more then fight for a win they will show their wins and loses on their faces for all to see. they will give each other energy to do things that they wouldnt have done before and they will be more successful then any team we have had since barkley left.

I think the Suns will be an exciting team. They will be very athletic and push the ball all the time. They will score a lot of points and create major problems for teams who rely mostly on defense because of their balanced attack.

Unfortunately, I think they will also give up a lot of points. They will have to fight for every rebound because they will smaller than their opponents even when playing a "big" lineup.

Their ability to become serious threat will be delayed until Lampe becomes a player. If summer league is any indication, that won't be this year.

I think the Suns will have a chance to be an exciting team. I think that the team will struggle for the for the 1st half of the season because they'll be getting used to Nash and Q (if Q's here) and they'll have too many offensive weapons without enough shots to go around. Hopefully Nash can keep everyone involved so we don't see players disappear for an entire half like we did last year (Marion, JJ). I also have concerns that JJ will regress with the presence of Q. If JJ starts feeling bad cuz he's taking minutes away from his friend (like when Penny was here) or starts looking over his shoulder to see if he's getting yanked after every missed shot then were gonna have problems.

We're in big trouble then.........

I feel this teem is mad at the way things went last year and they want tp prove they are better than that.

Adding Nash will make them ALL better. First they will get ALOT of easy baskets from the fast break. Then Nash will also be the key to getting out half court running smoothly. With Nash's outside shot, Amare's "Shaq-like" inside game . Teams wont know how to stop us when they STILL have to defend Marion's southpaw type game, and JJ's smooth playmaking ability.

The best part of all is the up tempo play will be infectous, and might carry over to the defensive end of the floor. This is where the team needs the most help! If they can hustle and create havoc on the Defensive end of the floor I truely feel the sky is the limit with this core of players.

They WILL need to address the 5 spot if they wanna get out of the first or second round of the playoffs. But Nash IS gunna make a HUGE impact right away.
