The Phoenix Suns 2009–10 featured one of the league’s most explosive offences, orchestrated by Steve Nash’s elite playmaking and efficient scoring. Amar’e Stoudemire dominated as the primary interior scorer, while Jason Richardson and Channing Frye supplied valuable perimeter shooting and complementary offence. Grant Hill added versatile two-way production as Phoenix combined exceptional ball movement, efficient shooting and floor spacing, with offence comfortably outweighing its merely average defensive performance.
