Jalen Green, a newly acquired Guard for Phoenix Suns, was named among the most overparted players in the NBA, according to the list of Dan Favale Bleacher Report. For the franchise, which has already dealt with the widely criticized Bradley Beal contract, Green’s agreement is another potential financial headache.
Green signed a three -year contract of $ 105.3 million, which will pay him $ 33 million in the coming season, followed by $ 36 million a year in the coming years.
Favale claims that Green does not bring the same value as the guards as Jrue Holiday or Zach Lavine, noting that his most important skills are inconsistent and not always compatible with the needs of the team.
While Green is a high -volume shooter, its efficiency remains a problem. He tried to constantly create unconditioners – an area where the sun desperately needed support. In fact, the metrics at/outside the court often showed that the missiles work better when the green was outside the floor and raised questions about its overall impact.
“Both (Green’s) Attack on and out of miles come up with efficiency. He published a better than league average clip on unquestionable shot attempts, according to the BBAL index. His percentage of shooting on the spot reached 60.
Shop Kevin Durant
Green’s arrival in Phoenix came as part of a blockbuster Kevin Durant. Although it was not a direct swap one for one, Durant was sent to Houston Rockets in a massive seven-team agreement. In exchange Suns received Green, Dillon Brooks and a highly praised view of Khaman Maluach, along with five selections of the second round.
The missiles, which ended up last season as seed no. Durant is expected to surround Jabari Smith Jr., Fred Vanvleet and Alperen Sengun as a defined role as the primary shooter of the team and closer.
During his stint, Durant played 62 games last season, on 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assistance in shooting 52.7 percent of the field and 43.0 percent per arc.
Green’s path in Phoenix
For Phoenix, the acquisition of Green is both a risk and a potential reward. The organization is banking in its partnership with Devin Booker to speed up its growth and convert it into Cornerstone.
The sun basically exchanged one financial gambling for another. Whether Green proves that he is worthy of investment, will depend on his ability to adapt, improve its efficiency and prosper along with the Booker in a small -scale system for error.
