The Phoenix Suns didn’t give the rookies much of a chance to show what they could do in 2010-11. 26-year old point guard Zabian Dowdell played in 24 games (0 starts) for the Suns last year and he averaged 12.2 minutes, 5.0 points, 0.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. He looks like a keeper. 22-year old power forward Gani Lawal only played in 1 game (0 starts) for the Suns last year and he played 2 scoreless minutes while committing one foul. He missed pretty much the whole season due to a knee injury. 24-year old center Garret Siler didn’t get on the floor much. He played in 21 games (0 starts) for the Suns last year and he averaged 4.8 minutes, 2.1 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.1 assists per game. Siler did shoot 54.8% from the floor, so he did help out in his limited time on the court.
