Jalen Green and the Phoenix Suns are in a position where their offense needs to catch up to their elite defense.

Jalen green’s playmaking impact on Suns

One of the most effective ways for them to do so, is by having more playmakers. The “point guard” talk regarding Jalen Green and Devin Booker undermines the objective of having primary playmakers who pressure a defense, but can leverage their scoring prowess into playmaking opportunities.

The more players a team has that can be multi-faceted in their impact, the better a team’s half-court offensive effectiveness grows — especially pertaining to late-game execution when the game slows down, and in postseason play where the Suns need to take steps.

That balance being struck is something Devin Booker has mastered, and is what Jalen Green is intentionally working towards.
