Unbelievable operation! The Suns will arrange Jaylen Green as the team s starting point guard?

Phoenix local media Arizona Sports 98.7 reporter John Gambadoro previously said on social media that Devin Booker will serve as the starting point guard for the Phoenix Suns next season. However, Gambadoro quickly adjusted his statement, and he corrected that Jalen Green, who just joined the Suns, will serve as the team's starting point guard, and Booker will not appear in this position. Collin Gillespie will serve as the backup point guard, while Jordan Goodwin and Jared Butler will compete for the third point guard role.

In the NBA regular season last season, Green maintained full attendance in 82 games. During his 32.9 minutes of playing time, Green averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.3 blocks, and had 2.5 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. He shot 42.3% from the field, 35.4% from three-point shooting percentage and 81.3% from free throws. In the playoffs, Green played 7 games in total, with averaging 31.3 minutes per game, averaging 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.3 blocks. He also had 1.4 turnovers and 0.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 37.2%, his three-point shooting percentage was 29.5%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 66.7%.

Judging from Green's performance last season, arranging him as starting point guard can be said to be a somewhat crazy behavior, or even a completely incomprehensible behavior. Green's passing and organizational ability are very average, and he also has obvious shortcomings in the overall situation. Green's performance during the playoffs has declined significantly, and his performance in passing has also declined much compared to the regular season. With Green's performance last season and his failure to make substantial improvements in this area in the past few seasons, he seems not to be a qualified starting point guard candidate, and it can even be said that he has no match for the point guard position at all.

Of course, Green and Booker have a high degree of overlap in characteristics and positions. Considering that the Suns were exchanged for Green for Kevin Durant, and his contract will not expire in three years, the Suns must also arrange for him and Booker to appear on the court at the same time. Since two people must be arranged to play at the same time, one of the two must indeed serve as point guard. But from any perspective, Booker seems to be more suitable for this position than Green. The Suns had already failed very much last season, and if they chose to arrange Green as the starter next season, we wouldn't even imagine how things would develop.
