The Phoenix Suns have certainly had their fair share of struggles this season, mainly they've had trouble getting consistent, productive performances out of their players.

One Sun who could be deemed an exception is Shannon Brown. The 27-year-old has continually provided impressive efforts, and exemplary shot selection, even during the team's lowly seven-game losing streak.

"I think he does a phenomenal job at the end of shot clocks," Suns' color analyst Tim Kempton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Show Thursday. "He never puts his teammates at a disadvantage by giving them the ball as the shot clock is running down. He understands the situation and it may not be the greatest shot but at least it's a shot."

Kempton is quite high on Brown and believes he is playing quality basketball for the Suns right now.

"Shannon Brown, athletic enough to burn guys down off the dribble, score and take it to the basket and we've seen his shooting abilities," Kempton said. "So I think his shot selection within the game framework is absolutely dead on. I think he's playing absolutely very, very good this year."

The Suns' guard is averaging 12.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in 26 minutes this year.

    My girlfriend loves him
    She watches games with me because he looks like Chris Brown (famous singer). Also she says Morris looks like Drake (famous singer) and Scola looks like Russel Brand (actor/comedian)

    We're glad you got someone warming up that spot next to you. Or better yet, maybe she's fixing you some chow while you're watching the game and she bounces in once in awhile with some fresh food and a nice big smile. You dont really care what the subject is, as long there's a little participation. And bring a Coke too, please.

    often times i feel like i watch a completely different game then everyone else with this guy. whenever i see him, all he does is shoot. i seriously thought i saw people purposely not passing him the ball in the last game, because they knew if they did that was the last time it would be passed in the possession.

    Treat every player fairly
    I’m going to have to agree with the commit posted by brown. Shannon has tons of talent and athleticism but notice he doesn’t like passing the ball especially when he’s on a scoring slump, he shoots (39%) just a little better then teammate Beasley but yet he’s getting kudos. If anyone should be shooting more its Gortat…… GO SUNS!!!
