The Phoenix Suns did not truly get to enjoy the fruits of the Devin Booker-Jalen Green backcourt pairing in 2025-26, as injury and other circumstances got in the way of the duo finding its footing.
This Suns’ Secret Weapon could unlock things in 2026-27
As Phoenix heads into Year 2 of the Booker-Green pairing, it is hard to know what to expect based on the limited returns from Year 1.
While the expectations are undefined, it is clear that the team’s ceiling is largely dependent on how well its backcourt can perform.
There were brief highs shared between the two last season, but not enough of a sample size to develop a picture of how they will play off one another in 2026-27. PHNX Suns dives into their expectations for Booker and Green with a full runway into the season and a better bill of health.
National media has not written off the potential of the duo, but where does the crew stand? Take a closer look into what can be made of the two prolific guards and how well they could lead this team in a crucial season.
