Winner of the team’s 2009-10 Dan Majerle Hustle Award, established himself as one of the team’s best defenders
and one of the league’s premier three-point shooters… Third-year NBA player averaged a career-high 8.2 points,
3.4 rebounds, career-high 1.4 assists and a career-best 24.3 minutes in a career-high 82 games (one start) in his
first full season in Phoenix… One of only two Suns to appear in every game (Stoudemire)… Shot a career-high
and team-leading 45.8 percent from three-point range, fourth-best in the NBA… Made a career-high 120 threepointers
after entering the season with 38 threes made in his first two career seasons combined (38-of-115, .330)…
116 of those threes made came as a reserve, third-most off the bench in the NBA behind only Jamal Crawford and
J.R. Smith… Since joining the Suns in Dec. 2008 (130 games), is 146-of-328 (.445) from three-point range
compared to 12-of-49 (.245) in his first season-plus in Charlotte (93 games)… Made at least one three-pointer
in a career-high 17-straight games ending Dec. 23 vs. Oklahoma City, then followed that up with a 14-game streak
ending April 9 at Oklahoma City… Improved shooting led to a single-season career-high nine efforts of 15 or more
points (6-3), surpassing his total from his first two seasons combined (2007-08: five, 2008-09: four)… 13 of his
18 career scoring efforts of 15 or more have come since joining the Suns… Nine games of 17 or more points in
2009-10 (6-3) after entering the season with three such games in his career… Overall, scored in double figures
30 times (20-10), including one 20-point effort, the first of his career on April 2 at Detroit… In that game, scored
20 points on a career-high six three-pointers, the 18th reserve to make six or more threes off the bench in 2009-
10 and third Sun (Dragic, Frye)… Two double-doubles, and now has three as a Sun and seven for his career…
First double-double of the season came Jan. 26 vs. Charlotte, his former team, in his first start as a Sun when he
scored 18 points and grabbed a then season-high 10 rebounds… Second double-double came March 6 vs. Indiana
with 11 points and a season-high 12 rebounds… Led the Suns with a career-high 81 steals and led or shared the
Phoenix lead in steals on 28 occasions.
