The Suns believe that recently-signed forward Louis Amundson is a perfect fit for their system, according to The Las Vegas Sun.

Amundson played sparingly for Utah and Philadelphia the past two seasons. He will make $711,517 in Phoenix, and the Suns have an option to bring him back in 2009-10.

"I take pride in my defense," Amundson said. "I like to get in there and change the game with my athleticism."
