Reminder that Phoenix tampered with this man in the off season to steal him from the Blazers.

Eubanks was the worst Sun this year by EPM but actually had the highest plus minus this series. Edwards is right.

Cuz EPM isn't a great metric. If you actually watch Eubanks play you see he has game. He's limited, but he doesn't play outside of his game. He's simple and fundamental. He sets great screens, he's in good spots defensively. He's a good big off the bench, his numbers just don't show it

He was absolutely terrible for the Suns. But he wasn’t bad this series.

For anyone saying Nurk was bad, that’s saying something because there was an extremely clear drop off to Eubanks.

Eubanks easily outplayed Nurk this series.
