Last Saturday the Suns had their annual intrasquad game to prepare for the preseason."Nash was his typical steady self, compiling 15 points and nine assists, but the difference-maker for Team White was Boris Diaw.
Diaw’s offseason training looked like it paid off, posting 21 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and three steals on 9-of-14 shooting. More important than Diaw’s stats was the bounce that he displayed around the court. Suns fans can expect a return to form for Diaw, who has worked himself into great shape.
“I love that guy,” D’Antoni said about Diaw. “Every time he touches the ball he makes a good decision.”
Fifth-year guard Marcus Banks also looked sharp, scoring 17 on 2-of-4 from downtown. Raja Bell added 14, but the player who stood out the most was reserve forward/center Sean Marks.
The 6-10 New Zealander registered 11 points and 11 boards, but more importantly, was an active presence in the paint. On one play in the first half, Rawle Marshall elevated for a tomahawk slam and Marks swooped over to stuff him cold about three feet above the rim. It was the highlight of the night, but not resting on his laurels, he sprinted to the end of the court to finish the play with a thunderous flush."
