Jalen Green makes Phoenix Suns dangerous

Jalen Green is back — and his return is about to have a major impact on the Western Conference, including how the Phoenix Suns are being viewed.

The Suns are already causing waves but Jalen Green’s return changes the competitive landscape of the West. Espo talks why his return could catapult the Suns into home court advantage in a conference that is starting to show more cracks than expected.

As the Western Conference playoff picture starts to take shape, the Suns aren’t backing down. From execution and star leadership to momentum against top competition, Phoenix is proving it can thrive even as the conference tightens and that Green just might be the piece they were missing to take the next step. 

We discuss:

  • What Jalen Green’s return means for the Western Conference
  • Why the Suns’ recent play stands out even more now
  • How Phoenix is separating itself from the rest of the West
  • What this stretch says about the Suns moving forward

Is this the moment the Suns establish themselves as a true power in the West — regardless of who’s back?
