Robin Lopez Out Several Weeks With Knee Injury; Phoenix Suns Are Looking For Replacements

UPDATE: Earl Barron is back in the NBA!

Phoenix Suns big man Robin Lopez is out at least one week according to reports due to a "left knee sprain," leading the Phoenix media to believe that my decision to invest big money in him on fantasy this year a terrible one the Suns will more than likely sign a big man to replace him.

Of note, the Suns seem to always be searching for a bit girthier player (but not so girthy that he's Garret Siler, apparently, since they seemingly don't plan on moving him up the depth chart) and probably someone with tangible experience.  

Could this change since their front office was overhauled this Summer? Yes. Will it? Probably not yet.

With that in mind, I decided to look for every possible, somewhat-suitable replacement the Suns could have in mind even though they'll probably just go back to the Dwayne Jones well (third time's a charm, buddy!).

In no particular order, after the jump, I have the Robin Lopez Replacement Candidates.  If it isn't one of these guys, I'd be surprised.  Also, I'll probably get into some details once I'm able to actually find out if they're looking at any certain players/skill types (and it'll be eerily reminiscent of this).

Until then, just names in random order!

• Dwayne Jones
• Earl Barron
• Jake Voskuhl
• Chris Hunter
• Courtney Sims
• Shaun Pruitt
• Sean May
• Brian Zoubek
• Sean Williams
• Erick Dampier
• Chris Richard
• Ike Diogu
• Stromile Swift
• Mark Blount
• Robert Traylor
• Michael Sweetney
• Eric Boateng

Anybody I'm missing? Who would you choose?
