I view Cody Martin and Ryan Dunn as similar type players.

They both play good defense and can play a hybrid 3/4.

kd had kinda just been staying out of the way unless the shot clock starts running down - he's camping in the corner or sitting back by half court

The Suns are a much better team when they move the ball, let their young players provide the energy and ask their stars to be specialists.

Martin's good defense leads to a Booker three.

This is why I love the Martin Twins. They just do the little things that don't show up in the box score. We need guys like this to round out the roster.

Barnes looks good, but he's playing us. So it's hard to know if he really is good, or just good versus the Suns.

The Suns could have used a player like Castleton, who is on a 10-day contract.

Martin recovering from the sports hernia may not have that core strength back for the three. Shooting a little flat for him.

Dunn and Martin are the PFs in this lineup. I like the defense.
