The Suns have the best all-around small forward in the NBA, period.  Marion plays offense & defense, which is odd for a small forward.  Last season the Suns needed “The Matrix” to get more rebounds because of Stoudamire’s injury and he did just that as he averaged 21.8 points, 11.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.  Marion plays hard every night and he is just as important to the Suns as Steve Nash is.  For his career, Marion has averaged 18.7 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.3 assists per game! 

James Jones will be the Suns back-up at small forward.  Jones averaged 9.3 points & 3.4 rebounds last season for the Suns.  Jones fits right in with the rest of the Suns because he’s a good open-court player and a fine three point shooter.  For his career, James has averaged 6.9 points & 2.8 rebounds per game.

Jumaine Jones was signed on to provide depth for the Suns.  Jones has averaged 7.3 points & 4.3 assists per game over his career.  Jumaine has the same skill set as James Jones does, and he fits in well on this roster.
