The Phoenix Suns aren’t short on intriguing storylines heading into the upcoming season. With so many players at different stages of their development, it’s difficult to narrow the focus to one individual and identify him as the player to watch…
John Voita of Bright Side Of The Sun argues that Jalen Green, rather than Devin Booker, is the most crucial Phoenix Suns player to watch this season. While analysts Bill Simmons and Rob Mahoney highlighted Booker on The Bill Simmons Podcast, Voita contends that Green's development as a secondary creator and facilitator holds far more influence over the franchise's ceiling and long-term future.
Green is set to earn $36.3 million this season with a $36 million player option next year. Voita explains that if Green can improve his career 1.4:1 assist-to-turnover ratio and ease playmaking duties for Booker, it will unlock Phoenix's offense, whereas failure to adjust will force difficult front-office decisions.
