More on Jalen Green

Green had previously dealt with a lingering hamstring injury earlier in the regular season, one that kept him out fairly consistently until the All-Star break. Green, performance-wise, has had an up and down first season in Phoenix after being acquired via trade from the Rockets this past summer.

Green is a young, explosive scoring guard that pairs well next to Devin Booker, whose gravity often allows Green wider paths to the rim and more space to shoot.

If the Suns are going to make any noise in the play-in tournament or beyond, Green's presence isn't optional in making that happen. It's mandatory.

Former Rockets coach Ime Udoka offered this on Green just last night:

"The injury was the biggest thing. He's gifted at what he does. This year, it was tough to see him go through that two or three times and with his hamstring. So, I'm happy that he's back healthy. Obviously, I know him and Dillon  (Brooks) well and I'm happy for them to do well. Jordan Ott as well. I coached with them in Brooklyn. What they're building here, Jalen's a big piece of that. I'm not surprised by the success he's having. It has some ups and downs, a little bit, but getting thrown out there this late in the year, you're going to have some of that."

Green has averaged 18.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists per night.
