Doesn’t matter either way. He will play.

Locked on Suns has talked for two days on how Green has been working with Steve Nash in the off season to be a better playmaker.

any word on how he is progressing? PG Green would be something.

Booker needs to improve his PG play too. Maybe if Green and Booker are better the Suns will be also

Actually the whole team needs to improve it's passing. PG's don't exist anymore really, it's about the whole team moving the ball.

Well, I think PGs exist. Do you remember CP3 and Steve Nash? I know everyone just jacks up 3 pointers but they need the ball in good positions.

Nah. Just that story from Green, and maybe a coach, that Green worked with Nash in the off season.

I don't want him dribbling around. He needs to play faster, when the ball is moving around it can't get to him and stop (which it pretty much always does). He needs to attack, shoot or keep the ball moving. His dribbling adventures are almost always a mess, typically ending with him settling for a terrible shot or eventually having to pass out and the offense resets... now with the clock running out.

Offense is supposedly his strong suit but his teams perpetually play better offense as a group when he's off the court because he's so disruptive to any system.

So along with the stories of Jalen Green working with Nash over the summer is a few quotes about Book being more of a shooter this year. I do think PG Green is being contemplated.

Feels like a recipe for disaster...

Both are retired last I checked.

Offenses don't go through a point guard anymore. Everyone is expected to be able to penetrate and kick when necessary.

 

[leclerc]

I think we'd be better with a more traditional point guard next to Booker than Jalen Green who is not a typical distributor.

 

[taz02]

Someone like Haliburton?

When is the first preseason game? Tomorrow? Maybe we need a thread for it, or for the entire preseason. I'm excited for Suns basketball!

All I see in this video is Jalen Green bricking off balance fade away threes over and over…
