Suns Sign Forward Stromile Swift for Remainder of 2009 Season
The Suns on Wednesday, signed forward Stromile Swift for the remainder of the 2009 season. The PF, who spent most of his career in Memphis, but most recently in Houston and New Jersey, will add some power and size for the small Suns squad. Swift is certainly no Amare Stoudemire, but he can run the floor and should be on the receiving end of many alley-oops from the Phoenix guards or small forwards.
Swift is a good rebounder, but a poor outside shooter. The Suns really don't need him to shoot, so as long as he brings energy, uses his fouls effectively and gets a few offensive rebounds, he will be a valuable contributor to PHX as they attempt to get into the NBA Playoffs.
