Say you know nothing about him without saying you know nothing about him.
I know he has had zero % effect on the teams success this year. I know the Suns do not have a legit PF on the roster. I know the Suns have plenty of wings to play the SG position. I also know that one of the better players so far will be forced to sit when (if) he does play and the Suns will continue to get destroyed at the PF position and on the boards when it matters. I also know the Rockets had no hesitation in dealing him

First, it's not Green's fault that the roster construction doesn't work for you.

And second, when the Rockets traded him, he was NOT injured and hadn't been injured both years of his career. We also know why the Rockets dealt him. It was because they were acquiring Kevin Freaking Durant.

Jalen Green has been a fantastic teammate, experienced the first injury of his CAREER, which unfortunately was a hamstring, which sucks because that kind of injury lingers (see: Devin Booker), but the main reason he's out now is he took a terrible fall a few games ago. You call that injury prone, right now I call that accident prone. It may lead to him being injury prone in the future, but it's far to early to declare that now.

You complaining about not having a true PF (which barely exists as a position anymore) has nothing whatsoever to do with Jalen Green.

Plus, zero effect in inaccurate. When he has played, he has made a difference. They only lost one game out of five that he played in and that was when both he and Book went down with injuries in Atlanta.

Glad he came away feeling this way because there were a lot of fans venting their frustration tonight in the arena.

Prior to that 2nd overtime, he'd played one of the worst individual games I've ever seen.

Yeah....he didn't really look good at all for most of the game (6-26 and 2-11 from 3).
