Check Out Hakim Warrick and the Suns Take On the Nuggets

  Hakim Warrick will enters his 2nd season with the Suns as they play their final preseason tonight as they take on the Denver Nuggets. The former Syracuse star scored 14 points off the bench in their 110-127 loss on Tuesday to the Nuggets. He also chipped in 6 rebounds and 3 assists.
  Warrick disappointed in his first season with the Suns backing up Channing Frye. Warrick averaged 8 points and 3 rebounds in 17 minutes per game off the bench last season.
  Last year, Warrick showed glimpses of being Amare Stoudemire's replacement early, but defensive and rebounding deficiencies relegated him to a lesser role. Over the summer, Warrick worked on his outside shot in hopes of being used at the SF spot.
“I think Hakim’s going to be a lot better, he’s had a great camp,” said Grant Hill. “I think he’s more comfortable here. I think the coaches are more comfortable with him. Josh I think will be a lot better also.”

  The two teams play at 9:00 ET tonight in Phoenix.
