Barely sweating, Shawn Marion rebounded, led the break and slipped a bounce pass between two defenders for a teammate's easy layup.

Marion looked as if he stepped straight out of May's playoff games when he joined the Suns' voluntary workouts Friday at America West Arena. His return seemed seamless, but Marion said he felt out of shape and hardly knew anybody in the pickup games.

Welcome to a team with nine new faces.

"There's going to be a little bit of change out there on the floor because our lineup's different, but hopefully we're still going to be running and gunning," Marion said.

The addition of Kurt Thomas allows Marion to return to a swingman role to start games, although Phoenix likely will still employ its quick look often with Marion and Amar? Stoudemire at the posts.

"I'm a three (small forward)," Marion said. "I'm not a four (power forward). Definitely, it's going to help. I can play anywhere. It's just a matter of how we're going to use me. We can go out there with any lineup, and I'm going to try to do it in some kind of way."
