Jalen Green just missed out on an incredible opportunity with the Rockets

Few players generated as much excitement as Jalen Green at the Phoenix Suns' 2025-26 media day, and with good reason. The 23-year-old was the best player the franchise got back in the Kevin Durant trade this offseason, although Dillon Brooks might have something to say about that by the end of this coming season.

Elite offensive talent is hard to come by in the league, and Green has the ability to go off for 30 on any given night. There is a case to be made that perhaps this doesn't always happen in the most efficient manner, and talk of him not being a winning player given the willingness of the Houston Rockets to send him packing has also persisted.
