Daily Poll: Who's your favorite bench player?

The Suns bench is clearly the story right now. They are playing great and fans everywhere are energized about seeing our reserves. This is part of a much bigger narrative going back years with D'Antoni and into the Porter era as well.

The other day in a poll we asked this question:

Which of these four Suns bench players do you think is most important to the Suns future?

 

Dragic won with 35% of the vote followed in a close second by Lopez with 28% and Dudley with 26%. Tucker who's played the least of the group and is a more replaceable position finished with 9%.

Today we are going to ask the question a bit differently.

Who is your favorite Suns bench player?

Favorite can mean whatever you want it to. Perhaps you really like Dudley's nose for the ball or are impressed with Tucker shooting over 40% from three. Maybe it's Robin's love of comic books or Amundson's bike and pony tail.

You decide.

Barbosa having been here for so long and basically playing starters minutes is being left off this poll. We know everyone loves him already.

For me

its got to be Lou. If he works on a midrange jumper he really could be quite solid off the bench. I like the guy, he bust is ass all the time.

Stro...

I gotta go with Swift because he has my all-time favorite missed dunk. Early in his career he went for a MONSTER 2-handed jam but the ball slipped out at the last second causing him to airball a laser that went right at the head of the dude like 5 rows into the stands. An airball dunk that almost kills a dude gets points in my book.

(I tried to find a clip on YouTube but was unsuccessful, sorry)

Yessir...

Stro might not know much about playing in a system, learning playbooks or trigonometry, but dude knows how to provide highlights when he gets the chance!

LOUUUUUU!!

He goes 120 percent every second he’s on the court. To me, that makes up for any amount of free throws me might miss.

He has pretty good form already, but a few tweaks and a summer of practicing his jumper and free throws and he will at least be a solid bench player for years.

I really like Lou’s hustle and energy, but I’m going to go with Jared Dudley, because you don’t have to worry about him making a stupid mistake. He knows his abilities and plays within them, and he’s able to make positive contributions with minimal risk.
