With their 5th round pick, the Phoenix Suns select Tayshaun Prince

I am at a point right now when I really like my team. If you have questions about my team pm and i'll convince you.

I think you have a fun team to watch but are missing the star power to probably win it all.

I would argue the Cousins will be a star in his third year. Other than lack of star power how would you improve my team?

Wait you mean Jeremy Lin isn't a star? He dominates ESPN, won an ESPY, and will be the starting PG on the Western Conference All Star Team the next three years.

Jeremy Lin is very good, we plan on running a very difficult to stop pick and roll with him and DeMarcus.

People are sleeping on Lin but he is one of the best pick and roll players in the league. He was 6th in the league in Assist % (Behind, Nash, Rondo, Deron, Calderon and Cp3) yet. Last year his turnover numbers were less than Nash and Rondo, I expect it to go down even more with a year of experience. He's 12th in the league (200 minute cut off) in Steal %. His True Shooting % is third among pg behind Nash and CP3. He shot 33% from 3 and after another year I expect that to improve. This was all in his first year of consistent playing time! He is good!

He was 34th in the league in assist%, among PG's. He's behind Derek Fisher.

Among PG's he had the 10th worst T/O%.

And all this despite having the 6th highest usage rate.

Yeah, an excellent pick. Very good fit too (Nash, Prince, Love, Noah).

Prince was my top-rated SF on the board to start this round.

Defense -- both in the backcourt and the frontcourt

I agree here defense is an issue with ryan anderson,lin,kevin martin

I would love to have a strong defensive PF alongside Cousins for the both the good of the team + to help Cousins grow as a defender. Much like Taj Gibson with Brook Lopez in San Antonio. Someone with a lot of quickness and defensive range at PF who can play off of Cousins' bulk and physical power at center.

Then bring Ryan Anderson off the bench. I think that's the best role for Anderson and would be reluctant to start him without a strong defensive C alongside him (because of the combined lack of interior defense).

I would also consider bringing Kevin Martin off the bench. I think Jeremy Lin and DeMarcus Cousins will do the vast majority of the heavy lifting offensively. Wilson Chandler is a fine additional offensive option. I think Kev Martin will find more opportunities coming off the bench.

I'd be looking to bring in someone with a jumper and a solid handle who can play above average defense to start at SG. If it were a SG/SF, that would be great because he could backup W.Chandler at SF too and play alongside Kevin Martin when Martin comes in. Maybe give all three guys around 32 minutes a game if you can land a good enough player there.

That would be what I would like to see this team do.

Faried is more athletic than Gibson so he absolutely has the quickness and athletic range. However I certainly will try to add an athletic defensive big before this is over. Faried also has his highest PER at center (both offensively and defensively) so I think Anderson (who was a top 20 player last year according to several different advanced statistics) could play next to him.

I expect to add some defense later in the draft that should help ease those concerns.

Although Bradley was someone I targeted.
