Skinner Works Out For Suns

Skinner Works Out For Suns
September 21, 2007 - 12:58 am
Arizona Republic -
The Suns are closer to completing their training camp roster, turning their focus to free-agent big men Esteban Batista, Brian Skinner and Vitaly Potapenko and inviting free-agent swingmen Richie Frahm and Rawle Marshall to camp.
Skinner worked out for the Suns on Thursday with a group that included some Suns players and free agents such as Maurice Taylor, Frahm and Marshall.
Assuming they don't get a surprise call from veteran free agent P.J. Brown, the Suns are considering adding two big men to the Oct. 2-7 camp in Tucson. The Suns, who must add at least one player to their roster, have competition on all three free-agent big men.
But Skinner has not worked out for another team.
"This is the top of my list," he said. "It's a championship ballclub."

Slow offseason...who would you want for the big man spot that we're lookin to fill out of the bigs that are still available?

Re: Skinner Works Out For Suns
Suns should sign Skinner, screw Brown. Skinner could do what PJ would do for us, and that's mainly be a big body and hit the occasional open jumpshot.

Re: Skinner Works Out For Suns
Agreed. I too have the "screw brown" mentality. How long does it seriously take to make up your mind if you want to play or not?

Re: Skinner Works Out For Suns
Take Skinner, and be done with it. If Brown wants to sign with us. Put him in D-League.

lol he'd just have to pretend to be 15 years younger and change his name, and he'll fit right in.

Re: Skinner Works Out For Suns
Skinner is prolly the most talented F/C that we can get right now. And he gets a block a game, is his defense good? We dont have a better option, so do it.
And hes only 31 years old. Brown is wat, 38 or 40 or something
