Isn’t funny how we develop a connection to certain bench players on the Phoenix Suns? We gravitate to the nicknames we create and the personalities of our favorite players. Frank the Tank. Pyramid Papi. Stix. Langston Lagoon. C4. Super Dario. It sounds like a platoon of misfit Marines ready to head off into the Vietnamese jungle circa 1967.
Dario Saric has a special place in many Suns’ fans hearts for his hustle and grit. The dude does not possess the same athletic talents that many of his fellow players but through sheer determination he impacts the game.
