We know what kind of year Steve Nash (notes) is
having (around 18 per game, 12 assists), and we’re aware of what kind of
year his
Phoenix Suns are enjoying. You’re probably aware that the Philadelphia 76ers are a .500 team, that Sam
Dalembert tries a lot of shots that he probably shouldn’t, and that Elton Brand (notes)
is looking more and more like Sharone Wright with every passing day.

But take a gander at Louis Williams (notes).

15 points per game, and about 10 combined assists and
rebounds per contest. He’s making 49 percent of his shots, and in an offense
that often asks you to create a pin-point two-hand bounce pass from 22 feet
away, deep into traffic, Lou is averaging just 1.3 turnovers a game.

Nash played last night, Williams did not. Safe to say, as
well, Nash has a few years on Williams. Or is that the other way around?

It’s an early start, and the dreaded final game of the road
trip for the Suns. The Suns, who are pretty old, but also pretty well prepared
by that
magical training staff.

Early start, and on NBA TV. I suggest you give it a go.
