PHOENIX – You don’t have to squint very hard to see what Stan Van Gundy envisions on the horizon.
Start with Blake Griffin, who since a pep talk from Van Gundy nine games ago has shifted into full-blown superstar mode. Add the Andre Drummond who over his past two games has blocked eight shots and is on track to claim his second NBA rebounding title. Drop in the Reggie Jackson from Dec. 26 – before he went down in his 22nd minute of play with 13 assists – darting into the paint and whipping passes with either hand to open 3-point shooters.
