AutoDraft Pro AI

With Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks sidelined, Jalen Green has been thrust into a leadership and go-to offensive role for the Phoenix Suns. Green, who missed much of the season with hamstring and hip ailments, is now seeing nearly double his minutes. He's averaging 13.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 10 games this season. Despite efficiency struggles, his playmaking and defense have improved, with the Suns allowing 12 fewer points per 100 possessions with him on the floor.
