A new star of the Suns?

A good number of NBA stars have come and gone through Phoenix, but the recent departure of Steve Nash stings more than most. Both as a man and as a player, Nash’s contributions to the Phoenix Suns organization over the last eight seasons may never be duplicated.

That’s the somber truth for returning Suns point guard Goran Dragic as it’s going to be nearly impossible to replace Nash. … While Michael Beasley says he can’t compare Dragic to Nash at this point, he does like his competitive nature and spirit as the floor general.

“Goran is a special player,” Beasley told HOOPSWORLD. “I wouldn’t compare him to Steve Nash. He does some things better than Steve Nash and some things worse, but overall he’s a good point guard and he’s got a lot of desire.”
