When the Phoenix Suns drafted forward Taylor Griffin with the 48th pick of the 2009 NBA draft, some wiseguy said: "For the second year in a row, the Phoenix Suns pick the weaker brother." Last year, the Suns got Robin Lopez instead of Brook.
Except for Dick Van Arsdale — The Original Sun — who went on to coach our team, and who was a Suns teammate with twin Tom, and Dudley Bradley, who was better than Charles, the Suns *always* get the worst brother. The Suns are listed second:
Van Arsdale Tom 12 seasons, 15.3 pts, 4.2 reb, 2.2 ast, 13.0 PER Dick 12 seasons, 16.4 pts, 4.1 reb, 3.3 ast, 14.4 PER
Melchionni Bill 9 seasons, 10.6 pts, 1.7 reb, 6.1 ast, 13.8 PER Gary 2 seasons, 7.8 pts, 2.4 reb, 2.2 ast, 12.6 PER
Bradley Charles 3 seasons, 3.2 pts, 1.1 reb, 0.5 ast, 8.4 PER Dudley 8 seasons, 5.2 pts, 1.8 reb, 1.9 ast, 12.0 PER
Gondrezick Glen 6 seasons, 5.8 pts, 4.5 reb, 1.4 ast, 13.7 PER Grant 2 seasons, 5 pts, 1.6 reb, 1.3 ast, 11.1 PER
Person Chuck 13 seasons, 14.7 pts, 5.1 reb, 2.8 ast, 13.7 PER, 1987 Rookie of the Year Wesley 10 seasons, 11.2 pts, 3.3 reb, 2.7 ast, 14.1 PER
Lopez Brook 1 season, 13.0 pts, 8.1 reb, 1.0 ast, 17.9 PER Robin 1 season, 3.2 pts, 2.0 reb, 0.1 ast, 11.6 PER
