Monday was a case of something old, something new, something borrowed (from the NBA Development League) and five guys who will end up blue after the Suns held auditions with six prospective point guards to fill the empty roster spot that must be filled by Wednesday.

A final decision hasn’t been made, but it would figure that longtime NBA veteran Damon Stoudamire, journeyman Eddie Gill and young Dee Brown are the finalists for the position – with the final decision depending on whether the Suns will lean toward an insurance policy for Steve Nash or a change-of-pace player who can provide more defense.

Those three players joined 40-year-old Darrell Armstrong, ex-Minnesota Timberwolves starter Troy Hudson and D-Leaguer Walker Russell Jr. for the hourlong workout at US Airways Center following Phoenix’s regular practice. The Suns have only three games over the next 16 days – giving the new guard along with recent arrivals Jason Richardson and Jared Dudley plenty of time to bond with new teammates and soak up the system.

Suns general manager Steve Kerr said late Monday that both he and coach Terry Porter want to sleep on what they saw before making a final decision Tuesday.

Stoudamire, 35, was mentioned as a possibility in Phoenix last year after he had his contract bought out by Memphis. He wound up signing with San Antonio, where he played 13 minutes a game and was not brought back this season. The former University of Arizona star would be more of a help offensively, especially in transition.

Brown, 24, the former Illinois guard who played 47 games for Utah in 2006-07, started 11 games for the Washington Wizards this season and is known as a tough defender. The 30-year-old Gill has spend parts of six season in the NBA and averaged 14.7 points and 7.5 assists with Colorado in the NBADL this season.
