Despite some external doubts and questions about the move, the Phoenix Suns remain optimistic that their recent acquisition, guard Jalen Green, will mesh well with Devin Booker in the team’s backcourt.
Gerald Bourgeut, a reporter for PHNX Sports, highlights three specific aspects of Green’s game that need refinement if the duo is to thrive together.
Last season, while playing for the Houston Rockets – who finished with a solid 52-30 record – Green posted impressive numbers, leading his team with an average of 21.0 points per game and contributing 3.4 assists per contest.
His skill set shows promising potential as both a secondary playmaker and scorer alongside Booker.
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, there have been reports that Lakers star forward LeBron James is reportedly open and supportive of the franchise’s recent strategic shift.
The Lakers are now focusing their team-building efforts around the younger star, Luka Doncic, signaling a new direction for the team’s future plans.
