Center of the Sun: Suns got their number one target, Monty Williams, as new head coach

Okay, it really wasn’t a game but don’t believe that it wasn’t a win when Monty Williams chose to become the Suns’ head coach over taking the same position with the Lakers.

Is Monty the coach that will ultimately lead the Suns back to the promised land (aka - championship contention)? Perhaps, but that’s really a question for the future. For now, the question is whether he can lead this team back to simple respectability and contention for a post-season playoff appearance.

I believe he can.

Not only does he have head coaching experience, but also in his five years as the head coach for New Orleans he coached two very different rosters there to the playoffs.
