Marquese Chriss: Will start at power forward Tuesday

Jared Dudley started the first seven games of the season, but seemed to struggle and wasn’t providing the necessary production to hold his spot in the top unit. That said, coach Earl Watson will insert the 19-year-old Chriss into the starting lineup, which is expected to be the lineup that the Suns go with as a permanent move for the future. Chriss certainly has more upside at his age and considering the Suns are arguably one of the worst teams in the league, it doesn’t hurt to get their rookie additional experience early in the season. Chriss is averaging 13.1 minutes per game on the season, but should see that on the rise moving forward.
