It turns out that while the Phoenix Suns fell short of making the playoffs with their late-season run in 2011, it wasn't a complete loss.

The late-season push was key for bringing back shooting guard Shannon Brown, who officially re-signed with the team Wednesday.

"I saw some good things at the end of last season that I think we can capitalize on as a team, and for myself as an individual," Brown told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Wednesday.

Brown averaged a career-high 11 points with the Suns last season, and in 19 games as a starter averaged 15.8 points and 3.7 rebounds, shooting .406 from three-point range.

Why did he decide to re-sign with the Suns? Does he think Steve Nash will fit in with the Lakers?
Brown said that the Suns fast-paced team was the right fit for him moving forward.

"It just felt good, it felt like the right move to make," Brown said. "Everyone seemed like they wanted me here and I wanted to come back."

As of now Brown is one of just six players to return to the Suns for the 2012 season, and believes that the new roster is full of players who have the potential to have another successful underdog season.

"I think if we come together, like I know we can, we're going to surprise a lot of people," Brown said. "We're going to open a lot of eyes."

    Good to Have Confidence
    My issue with the comments is that this team will not even be good. The only thing fans can feel good about is the fact that the Suns will have a lottery pick.

    Dragic will surprise everyone
    The Suns have gotten significantly better. Dragic will average 10 assists and plays tremendous defense and right now can create much more fast break opportunities for the Suns because of his young legs then Nash. Loved Nash but he was slowing down footwork wise.Suns now have young athletic guys who can run with Dragic. Suns will surprise league especially if Gentry emphasises running again like the 7 seconds or less Suns
