"Suns coach Alvin Gentry is set on having his two-time Most Valuable Player, face of the franchise and consummate playmaker start at point guard.

Beyond Steve Nash at the close of starting lineup introductions, the rest of the Suns starters have yet to be named with a week remaining until opening night.

Grant Hill would remain the starting small forward but he has missed practice time with a sore right knee and would be replaced by Josh Childress if he is not ready. The off-guard spot is a battle between Jared Dudley and Shannon Brown, although Dudley has been the star of training camp."
