The Phoenix Suns received a talented young big man with an exciting advantage on a design evening when they traded for Mark Williams of the Charlotte Hornets. But as interesting as Williams is as a player, his presence on the Roster will complicate some things, especially related to the current center rotation of the Suns.
In the event that you had not noticed, the options of Phoenix in the middle are now more than abundant. On top of Mark they also have the Rookie, Kaman Maluach, together with Nick Richards and Oso Iighodaro. If you are the coaching staff of the Suns and you want all these guys to play, there is of course the issue to find out where they all fit in the rotation, what roles they fulfill and how they can get them all the minutes.
But those are many centers to try to get playing time. I think it’s more likely that Phoenix is trying to exchange one or more of them.
Given the current state of this team, it seems to be the most logical for the Suns to move Richards first, since he is the most determined of the couple and there may probably be contenders interested in taking a flyer on him as a backup five option. After that, ighodaro is probably the next most likely man in the trade block.
The suns have to choose the center situation
And that is where the problem lies: none of those players will have a lot of commercial value, so it will be a difficult situation for Phoenix. You don’t really have a lot of assets that you can use to put together a fascinating trade offer, so there are not many obvious movements that the suns can make to move forward here.
Again, Richards will probably call over him at some point or another, but he will just not get much return value. I think Phoenix could reasonably expect that he might come back a few second rounders or perhaps a player with similar value that is similar to what they sent to Charlotte to acquire him. It is better than nothing, but it is not much for a team that tries to find their way.
This can become a reality if you notice that you are too many players superfluous. I am not saying that all four these centers all do the same things, but it is also difficult to play one of them in every position next to the five.
It is again a reservation of the challenging situation in which the Suns are located, and the Front Office will have some work to find out how best four boys manage seven feet or larger.
