If only Paul Westphal could have played in the modern NBA game with the 3-point line an integral part of the game. He could have averaged 30 points a game in his prime. An unselfish scorer, Westphal was, for several years in the mid-70s, one of the best scorers in the game, and to this day remains one of the top scorers in franchise history. Whether on NBA2K or in real life, there is no doubt that Westy could/can put the ball in the hoop on command, and earns himself a place in the All-Suns team’s starting lineup. In a two-guard lineup with a player of Steve Nash’s caliber, the two would be impossible to stop. Whoever is handling the rock will be an equal threat to either shoot or pass the ball to an open player, something that the real-life Suns have attempted to do over the past several years, without much success.
