Jalen Green Is Set To Make His Debut For The Suns THURSDAY, Why He Will TRANSFORM The Offense?

Jalen Green is finally set to debut for the Phoenix Suns after missing the first eight games, and his return couldn’t come at a better time. With the Suns sitting at 3-5 and Devin Booker carrying the offensive load without a true second option, Green’s ability to attack the paint and create gravity will open up the floor in ways this roster desperately needs.

Benjamin Garcia and John Voita break down how Green’s return impacts Booker’s stellar play, why the Suns need to rethink Oso Ighodaro’s minutes despite his draft pedigree, and whether rookies Kaman Malawatch and Rasheer Fleming deserve a shot in the rotation. The hosts also discuss Booker’s response to recent body language criticism and why he’s having the best statistical start to a season in Phoenix Suns history.

Tune in for an honest assessment of the Suns’ early season struggles and what adjustments could turn their season around.
