It would be a very nice fit. He does have the professional skills necessary to be able to work with guys in the backcourt and on the wing. They may never be seven seconds or less ever again? But there are things that Terry Porter can bring that can only help the Suns.
1) He can develop mad point guard skills.
Mo Williams was little more than a scoring combo guard when he was signed by the Bucks in Porters second season in Milwaukee. But the fact of the matter is, he unleashed Mo’s skills with a 6.1/2.5 Assist to turnover ratio in only 28.5 mnutes of play. Mo Williams has never been as skilled as he was in his second season.
What does that mean? Leandro Barbosa is going to find at least some of his tantalizing potential getting tapped.
2) Would you settle for 10 seconds or less?
When his team wasn’t ravaged by injuries, he kept his team in the top third of offensive pace. And with some real offensive talents on this team, they won’t lose too much of the smooth.
What does this mean? Umm…the pace wouldn’t slow too much.
Ultimately? The Suns aren’t going to be a team worth of critical acclaim unless a miracle occurs. Robert Sarver is not a good owner. Anyone who doesn’t keep his picks for restocking purposes can suck it.
But while the Championship window is closed, they’re still going to be dangerous for another year or two.
I’ll be honest… I’m still a bit worried… With Sarver’s wallet and his best buddy Kerr at the helm, i’m still critical of every move made. I’ll be watching Terry Porter under 2 magnifying glasses…
