    Well he played for the Bulls last year if Im not mistaken and he's a pretty good rebounder, he should be a good pickup but no the Suns have enough big men, he should be effecient though in the amount of time he gets.

    Being from the state of Iowa and an avid Hawkeye fan, I know a thing or two about Reiner. In college, he was a good hustle player. He was second in the Big Ten in rebounding his Junior year. He has a pretty good touch from around the 15 foot range and, at least in college, was a dependable free throw shooter. He's got pretty good size at about 6'11" and 250lbs, somewhere around there. As I said, he was a good rebounder and pretty decent shot blocker, along with a good offensive player. Only problem with him was he was injured his entire senior season minus 5 or 6 games and he had injury problems during his junior year. But, as long as he's healthy, he can be a serviceable big man for you guys.

    A little more info in the form of a quick Q&A: http://www.nba.com/suns/news/reinerqa_051027.html

    More of a personality interview obviously, but I think he could be another decent piece in the multi-faceted and surprisingly deep team the Suns have built this season. I mean, check out the box score stats from last night's kings game. Significant numbers all over the place on our roster list. Very nice to see.

    Amen, having another handy big, or even another handy defensive guard can make a huge difference, and you never know with a guy like Reiner. Let's hope he just does what's expected of him, boards and blocks.
