Trivia Tuesday: Phoenix Suns who’ve won Player of the Week awards

Sounds a little weird to say after a decade of futility, but the Phoenix Suns are rolling right now.

And because of that, a certain player on their roster picked up a Western Conference Player of the Week Award yesterday (yeah, it’s pretty much a freebie).

That got us to thinking…can you name every member of the Suns to win a Player of the Week Award? A little background: the league started giving out the honor in the 1979-80 season and then started giving out separate awards for each conference starting in 2001-02. So, we’re asking you to identify Suns players who have either won the full-league or conference hardware for any given week.

We’ve given you the date each player won the award and the position each played — all you have to do is name the player.

Seems like a lot of answers, but it’s really not, so you only have five minutes this week.

Good luck!
