They can go back to Booker when they realise Jalen has severely limited court vision and can only dribble with his right hand under limited pressure
I'm letting Suns content makers know that the box scores don't tell the whole picture. How a lob threat and good perimeter shooters make a huge difference. Nick Richards is an example of that: with Hornets Richards was in the 60 something NBA percentile as roll man in PnR. Traded to the Suns that jumped to 80 something NBA percentile. Same season but Suns team makeup allowed for greater efficiency on offense. Informing them that the Suns may start both Green/Booker but sub out one after 5-minutes like how the Rockets did with Harden and CP3/Westbrook. Then bring them back and Harden rest. Stagger minutes. Suns have signed Jarred Butler and Jordan Goodwin. One will make the team. So I expect the Suns to sub in Gillespie for offense or Goodwin/Butler for defense at PG. Gillespie was 99 in NBA percentile last season with Suns as ball handler in PnR. Freq over 20. I believe Goodwin was over 40% in CnS 3's while Butler was 37% in CnS 3's.(24/25)
Whilst I can kinda see why they may think he'd be a good PG, having seen certain traits of that myself (and wishing when I was a young PG I could jump the way Jalen does) surely they must have seen what happens when you put Jalen in pressure/stress situations? I hope they've got him a therapist or done something to work on his confidence issues or this could be a really ugly season for them...
A shoot first pass out of desperation player will never make a good PG. He doesn't have the natural vision to make simple plays like good PGs do by just reading and anticipating defense. I'm shocked phoenix would even try this cus this biggest issue with KD Booker Beal was that they had no PG and no offensive identity other than iso. Seems like more of the same except with a worse isolation player. At least it's good for our draft picks,
