Suns president Bryan Colangelo said he sees the team's best combination with Stoudemire playing center, the East Valley Tribune reports. This group "could be your starting five or at least play significant minutes together," said Colangelo.

The ability to use Stoudemire at center would be a boon to fantasy owners, however he is undersized for the position. If required to play there a lot, his numbers could suffer. Stoudemire resists the idea of making his living in the low post, but it would be the most efficient use of the Suns' resources. "It's not my natural position... but sometimes it will be to our advantage because we'll be quicker (than opponents) and I can still go into the post. If I'm called on to play center, I'll play it." In this scenario, Stoudemire plays center with Shawn Marion and Joe Johnson at forward with Quentin Richardson and Steve Nash in the backcourt.
