  "I feel like the turnovers, I was trying to make the home run play, but overall, I feel scoring is something I've done so far my whole career. Not really too much worried about that part. I'm worried about trying to make the right pass." Jalen Green 18 points, 2 assists, 3 https://t.co/ozgq2oN1my

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Analysis · Oct 16

  Host analysis: Bridges and Jalen Green are players on the margins who can raise the Suns' floor. Only Booker can raise the ceiling.

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Opinion · Oct 16

  Host opinion: he does not expect Jalen Green to become an All-Star, though he acknowledges many fans do.

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Analysis · Oct 16

  Roster context: the Suns acquired Miles Bridges, Jalen Green and Luke Kennard this offseason. The host considers these moves marginal.

• Podcast Locked On Suns host · Prediction · Oct 15

  Host's projected bench lineup: Gillespie (heard as "Colin Gillespie"; likely Collin Gillespie), Luke Kennard, Jalen Green, Maluach (heard as "Mala Watch"; likely Khaman Maluach) and Ryan Dunn.

• Podcast Locked On Suns host · Analysis · Oct 15

  Host speculates that Dunn might be the one to supply rim pressure when Jalen Green and Miles Bridges are on the bench.

• Podcast Locked On Suns host · Opinion · Oct 14

  A host says Miles Bridges is not going to rise to another tier, and that Bridges and Jalen Green may become more efficient but will not lift the team on their own.

• Podcast Locked On Suns host · Opinion · Oct 14

  A speaker thinks Jalen Green is capable of taking fewer shots but doubts "Dylan Green" (garbled; likely meant Dillon Brooks) is.

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Open question · Oct 14

  Unresolved questions the hosts raise: whether Jalen Green is the point guard, and whether Dillon Brooks (heard as "Dylan Brooks") becomes a 3-and-D player.

• Podcast Phoenix Suns (unnamed sources) (reported), via Locked On Suns · Relayed report · Oct 13

  Garcia says Jalen Green will be the Suns' point guard, and stresses this is the team's plan, not his own view.

• Podcast Jalen Green (reported), via Locked On Suns · Relayed report · Oct 13

  Garcia relays that Jalen Green said he is working with Steve Nash.

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Analysis · Oct 13

  Garcia's reading of the Nash work: Green is trying to become a better playmaker.

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Opinion · Oct 13

  Garcia is still highly skeptical, but says Green at point guard has been more good than bad in the small samples so far.

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Analysis · Oct 13

  Garcia took what he was told to mean that Green has "51 ownership" of the point guard spot and will largely bring the ball up.

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Prediction · Oct 13

  Garcia says that if the point guard standard is roughly six assists a night as the lead distributor, Green will fail, because he has never done it.

• Podcast Locked On Suns host · Analysis · Oct 13

  Voida says Green attacks downhill with his eyes down, but over three preseason games has shown some adjustment toward looking for teammates.

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Rumor · Oct 13

  Garcia, saying he has not sourced this, thinks the Suns expected Maluach (heard as "come on Mala watch"; likely Khaman Maluach) and Green to have better chemistry than they do, and says Green has more chemistry with Oso (likely Oso Ighodaro).

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Prediction · Oct 13

  Garcia predicts Oso (likely Oso Ighodaro) will probably win the starting job, because someone has to run pick-and-pop, short-roll and inverted pick-and-rolls with Green. He also notes Oso's improved rim pressure and lob-catching compared with last year.

• Podcast Locked On Suns host · Analysis · Oct 13

  Voida names the first unit as including Miles Bridges, Devin Booker, Jalen Green and Brooks (heard as "Dylan Brooks"; likely Dillon Brooks). He says their combined career three-point percentage is 34.7%, below last year's 36% league average.

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Analysis · Oct 11

  The host says Jalen Green will be the team's main initiator, its 'quote-unquote point guard'. Green won't always bring the ball up but will do most of the initiating.

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Report · Oct 11

  Jalen Green scored 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting (3-of-5 from three) with 5 assists and a +12. The host called him the Suns' offensive engine.

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Analysis · Oct 11

  The host counted only about two bad shots from Green, possibly heat checks after he got hot early.

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Analysis · Oct 11

  The host says Green was dealing with a hamstring injury last year, with constant questions about minutes restrictions. This game showed him as the No. 1 option with no restraints, really for the first time.

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Opinion · Oct 11

  The host's view of what Green needs to do: take a few fewer shots, distribute more, put pressure on the rim and take fewer threes. He thinks that would make Green more efficient, even if it means fewer points.

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Analysis · Oct 11

  The host thinks the Suns are potentially starting to see early returns from Green working with someone he calls 'Nash' (not further identified). He adds that nobody knows if it will continue.

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Prediction · Oct 11

  The host does not think Green is making a leap to All-Star level.

• Podcast Benjamin Garcia, Locked On Suns · Report · Oct 11

  The host recalls, hedged with 'if I'm not mistaken', that Maluach blocked Wembanyama and the play turned into a Jalen Green fast-break basket. He sees Maluach as one of the few players who can make Wembanyama work hard.
