Conditioning will come, but the Suns' new players are even quicker about catching up with the team's ways. "How long did it take Tim Thomas to adapt?" Suns coach Mike D'Antoni asked. Newcomers are relieved to be in a system that doesn't require the coach to move players around like chess pieces for an hour to teach.
