Both Leandro Barbosa and Marcus Banks drew raves this week for how they practiced. Suns assistant Dan D'Antoni said Barbosa had his best practice ever Wednesday because he was always in the right place defensively.

Coach Mike D'Antoni was impressed with Banks as he showed a newfound comfort for the style and his teammates.

"Last year, it was all brand new," Banks said. "It comes with experience. I've got a year under my belt. I know what to expect. In this offense, you can't think too much. You just let your instincts take over.
