Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
On paper, the only differences between Suns point guard Aaron Brooks and Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets are about four months, half an inch, and ten pounds. It’s the gap on the court that has Brooks seeking to restart a once-promising career as Steve Nash’s understudy in Phoenix, and Paul seeking to overtake Nash as the best point guard in the league.
The Suns will need Brooks to step up if they’re going to have any chance against the visiting Hornets. The stingers run their whole offense through Paul; if the Suns can find a way to neutralize him and win the game, they’ll be one step closer to a playoff spot.
