The question is a bit loaded because best can both be a subjective and objective definition depending on your criteria as the "best"

Objectively its Ablett as he's had the most quantifiable success, But personally I think Rory having Buddy's number on numerous occasions are some of the best performances i've seen from a player wearing our kit.

I also wouldn't be mad if everyone just answered that question as "Favorite Suns player past or present"
