The Phoenix Suns are lacking of a potent scorer at their roster at the moment. One that can create via the isolation and score off the creativity at a given situation.

Still, the Suns still have Steve Nash as a facilitator and that makes a well-rounded offense to begin with. Much like over the years, Nash can still make his teammates better with his floor vision.

I am intrigued on what Telfair will bring to the Suns. Telfair has bounced around for much of his career and now he has the privilege of learning from Nash. Maybe Telfair has finally found a home in Phoenix.
