Channing Frye?

by RD74 on Jul 1, 2009 3:48 PM MDT

I'm willing to bet one person $5 we sign Channing Frye. He has the length and attitude Kerr loves. He's a big guy that can shoot, and although he isn't that "dirt worker," he has the willingness to please his boss. So here is what I know about Frye:

-Pretty good shot for a big guy from 15 feet away of less

-Not a banger or shot blocker

-Not a big rebounder.

-Pretty good from the line for a big guy

-Hard worker with a good attitude

And the rest is supplied by our friends over at the Blazer's Edge-check it out.

So what do you say (remember Steve Kerr and Co. will be reading this. Let's let him know what we want)

my friend suggested channing the other day...

and i said, “really? no.”

to which he then replied, “but he’s a decently serviceable big guy, he’s young, and he’s got a good price.”

after doing some thought on it, it makes sense. while, like RD pointed out, he’s not a big rebounder or a banger, he might be a decent guy to have on the court, especially if amaré moves before the season starts (which i still don’t think he will). he’s got a fairly good jumper, and while he hasn’t exactly produced the way some thought he would (especially the new york knicks, i’m guessing), he’s still a decently productive player. now, you might look at his career stats, and notice a significant dropoff in each year. well, you should look at his minutes. he went from playing an average of 26 minutes per game to playing an average of 11 minutes per game. if you tell me that even if he had the 15 minutes more of playing time in portland he still wouldn’t contribute as much, i’d call you crazy.

he may be a viable young option for a suns team “in transition”, as kerr calls it. plus he’s an arizona favorite. well, tucson favorite. well, used to be.

He's also

got the Phoenix high school angle going for him as well. Of course, the “used to be” tag still applies there too.

career TS% of 50.4%? pass.

Pass

Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."
