Who really should be on the all-time Suns team?
By Adam Maynes
Amar’e Stoudemire – PF
Imagine if Amar’e Stoudemire had developed an outside shot. Would he too have been unstoppable? There is no denying that he was a down and dirty player in the post, not one to step out and take a long shot. But if he had to add that particular aspect to his game out of roster-necessity, could he have? We’ll never know, and if he didn’t, that would make the lane a difficult place for his guards to ever try and enter. However, there is no arguing that STAT had a decent mid-range game, and if he made the free throw line his home, the possibilities of this offense would have been limitless. At least adding STAT’s height on the defensive end (even though he was not a dominant defender) would make his position in the starting lineup a necessity. Plus, seeing him play next to Charles Barkley and a defensive-capable center as they all fought for every rebound like wild dogs to a kill, would allow for any defensive deficiencies by the backcourt, almost entirely irrelevant.
