Where do you see these numbers? What metrics are you using?

That's because the NBA doesn't want anyone to play defense. ;)

Payton's hair is horrible. Needs to get rid of the Little Richard look. When hair gets in the way of a free throw, its time to address.

Elfrid could probably pick up quite a bit of quickness and speed if he addressed his hairdo and got a little more aerodynamic!

Dear Elfrid...you are not in the SUN WORST anymore...can't shoot or play defense...hope you saved some $$$$ and got your degree....

I'm not sure where you got this one from but his offensive and defensive ratings are the highest they've ever been this year

Here is an article outlining how Elfrid did in his first Suns game.

Stats can be deceiving. Something like defensive efficiency tells more about the team than one individual. My eyes tell me that Elfrid is still playing hard on D.

My math tells me that until Chandler shot out of his mind late in the 4th quarter, the Suns were much more effective defensively when Elfrid was on the floor than when he wasn't. And his teammates gave up a lot of easy buckets while he was in there.

His hair is insane. If he keeps playing like that, there will be a new fad in Phoenix.

He said he's going to cut it soon. He's "over" getting questions about it.

Unlike Orlando, there's a chance Phoenix is actually going somewhere. That said, the PG position is crowded there when all are healthy.
