How Jalen Green and Devin Booker can co-exist in a Suns backcourt and reversal
PHOENIX — As the Phoenix Suns rebuild their roster, adding size, length and toughness, their success next season likely will come down to a key question: How will players wired to score like Devin Booker and Jalen Green co-exist in the same backcourt? Booker, 28, is an organizational pillar, eligible this summer for a two-year extension worth $150 million that will keep him in place through the 2030-31 season. He is Phoenix's career scoring leader and arguably a top-15 player in the league. Problem is, Booker last season was not at his best. Although he put up strong numbers, his shooting percentages were among the worst of his career. He needs to rebound. Advertisement Green, 23, is the centerpiece of a recent trade that sent superstar Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets. Once one of America's top high school prospects, the athletic 6-foot-4 guard skipped college and played a season for the G League Ignite before the Rockets selected him with the No. 2 pick of the 2021 draft. Green played in Houston for four seasons, averaging 20.1 points and 3.4 assists. To help better understand how this might work, The Athletic talked with four coaches who have worked with Green at the pro level, and a 10-year NBA veteran who works as a television analyst for the Rockets. Their experiences with Green reveal his path to this point, and it might provide a glimpse of his future. Rasheed Hazzard was an assistant coach with the Ignite. In Walnut Creek, Calif., he lived in the same apartment complex as Green during their season together in the G League. When Hazzard opened his door, Green lived to his left and Jonathan Kuminga, a forward the Golden State Warriors would select seventh in the 2021 draft, lived diagonally to his right. Hazzard often made the two future NBA players breakfast — eggs with olive oil, avocado and crushed red pepper. The first thing that jumped out to Hazzard was Green's athletic ability. The guard would throw down dunks in practice that would leave coaches shaking their heads. The second thing Hazzard noticed: Green's competitive drive. Hazzard said that, during an early Ignite workout, the coaching staff matched Green with a veteran and told them to play 1-on-1. Green made a move, drove baseline and dunked on the vet, wanting to prove a point. For the entire season, Hazzard doesn't even recall Green losing a team sprint. The jump shot needed work, but the right attitude was there. 'Had he gone to college, he would've gotten in those shooting drills that college coaches put you through, so he would've gotten his reps in,' Hazzard said. 'It would've really helped him. We didn't get to make the tweaks and changes we probably would've made had the circumstances been a little different. We spent more time just trying to make as many corrections as we could within the framework of what he was doing.' Will Weaver and John Lucas were assistant coaches with the Rockets. Weaver coached Green in the NBA Summer League not long after the 2021 draft. In their second game, the Rockets played the Detroit Pistons, which featured the draft's first overall pick in Cade Cunningham. Weaver noticed a rivalry between Green and Cunningham. Advertisement 'First play, we ran it for Jalen,' Weaver said. 'They trapped his pick-and-roll and instinctively he made a perfect pocket pass to the big, which is a very sophisticated, unselfish, veteran-type play to make in a vacuum, much less your (second) Summer League game against the guy that you're trying to prove yourself against. You would've forgiven him for just trying to split it and go dunk on somebody, which he surely has the capacity to do, but I thought that was a really salient indication of who he is at his core.' A 14-year NBA veteran and longtime coach, Lucas recalled thinking of Green as just a really talented AAU player. But the rookie proved to be a quick study. Whatever Lucas asked, Green did. Meet in the gym for extra work at 6 a.m.? Green was there. Lucas worked with Green on his jumper. He worked with him on his defense. 'We still got some work to do,' Lucas said of Green's defense. 'That's the last piece that comes for an NBA player because everybody wants to score. They don't realize until they've won a little how important the defensive side of the ball is.' Stephen Silas was Houston's head coach for Green's first NBA two seasons. These were difficult, rebuilding years for the Rockets. They won 20 games in Green's first season, 22 in his second. Green, a starter from his first game, had to grow under fire. 'The way we were constructed wasn't necessarily to win, but it was for development for those guys,' Silas said. 'Jalen understood the big picture, but it didn't make it any less rough. He learned how to deal with adversity, learned how to be the leading scorer on the team and have a lot of responsibility that comes along with that. As a young kid, he was really just trying to figure it out.' The Rockets fired Silas after the 2022-23 season and hired Ime Udoka. They also added experience, trading for defensive ace Dillon Brooks (who will also come to Phoenix as part of the Durant deal) and signing veteran point guard Fred VanVleet. Over the next two seasons, as Houston turned into a Western Conference contender, Silas noticed Green's growth. Advertisement 'He is playing winning basketball, which is understanding you have to play hard on both ends,' he said. 'Every shot isn't your shot — he's grown to be a good shot taker. With experience and having the vets around him, showing him the right way to do things, it's really helped him grow. He's much more efficient. He's much more sure of what he wants to do.' Ryan Hollins is a 10-year NBA vet and the Rockets' television analyst. He watched Green struggle this spring in his first postseason action, a first-round series Houston lost in seven games to the Golden State Warriors. The Rockets' leading scorer during the regular season, Green averaged 8 points and shot 31 percent in their four losses. Much of the public blame for the series loss fell on his shoulders. Hollins doesn't think the criticism is fair. After Green scored 38 points in Houston's Game 2 win, the analyst said the Warriors adjusted. They trapped him. They picked him up sooner. They were determined to shut Green down. Hollins saw it more as the next step in the guard's development. 'He's going to have to add more strength because in the playoffs it was a different whistle,' he said. 'They put their hands on him. And for him, someone wanting to play in space, if someone who's stronger can grab and hold, it's going to be hard for him to get loose. He's still going to learn those tricks of how to draw those fouls or how to loosen up pressure. But, yeah, he was a focal point.' Hollins said if Green shows no improvement the rest of his career, he's at worst a great sixth man, a strong scorer off the bench. But if he stays on this path, learning how to win, feeding his competitive drive, he can boost his game to a higher level. 'Superstar,' Hollins said. Phoenix has an overflow of guards and wings, a group that includes three-time All-Star Bradley Beal. While the Suns are expected to keep Green, other moves are sure to follow. To start, Green's former coaches like the potential of a Green-Booker backcourt, no matter how it unfolds. 'First off, they're really good guys,' Silas said of Green and Booker. 'They're both selfless. They both want to win. They both have seen the goods and the bads and have a really good feel for team basketball and what it takes to help you get over the top and win. It remains to be seen, but I think when you start with the base that those two guys have, it could work.' Advertisement Weaver pointed out that it's 2025. The idea that a team needs to slot players into set positions is antiquated. Look at the Indiana Pacers and their run to the NBA Finals, he said. No one was concerned about redundancy with Andrew Nembhard, Tyrese Haliburton and T.J. McConnell. It will be the same with Phoenix, he said. Plus, Weaver has great respect for new Phoenix head coach Jordan Ott. 'It might surprise people how different the Phoenix Suns look next year,' Weaver said. Hollins said Green will learn from Booker. How to be efficient. How to deal with chippiness. How to perfect a one-dribble pull-up. A two-dribble pull-up. If Green can approach matching Booker in those areas, 'now we're jumping to a whole other hemisphere,' with his game, Hollins said. Hazzard didn't appreciate the question. He said it was disrespectful to Booker, who has molded his game around different teammates throughout his career. First Chris Paul. Then Durant and Beal. He said it also ignores the progress Green made in Houston, and the motivation he'll have upon arriving in the desert. 'Jalen Green, you put a chip on his shoulder,' Hazzard said of the Rockets trading him. 'You essentially said, 'We don't think you're good enough to take us to the mountaintop.' I have all the faith in the world as to how Jalen Green will respond. I can't say it because you can't write it. But you can imagine what I'm about to say. That's what (the Suns) are going to get from Jalen.' (Top photo of Devin Booker and Jalen Green during a Suns-Rockets game last March: Kenneth Richmond / Getty Images)

The Nets' record-setting draft created a roster pileup they'll need to untangle going into free agency
It took just four days for the Nets' roster to go from blank slate to overcrowded. After the Nets made an NBA-record five first-round draft picks Wednesday night, they exercised team options on four more players Saturday afternoon. The Nets can have a maximum of 20 players on their roster for training camp, and while they are believed to still be actively working the phones for more potential trades, they added a ton of warm bodies to what had been a threadbare roster. The first-rounders Advertisement Nobody in NBA history ever had gone into a draft with more than four first-round picks, and nobody had ever actually selected and kept more than three.

Oscar Robertson to receive Arthur Ashe Award for Courage for work shaping free agency
Free agency is among one of the most exciting parts of the sports calendar, as athletes are able to pick and choose where they want to play and cement a legacy. The man who helped make it possible will be honored for it. Basketball Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson will be honored with the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at the 2025 ESPY Awards, USA TODAY Sports exclusively reports, for his work is establishing free agency in the NBA. The award is given to a "deserving member of the sports world who has made a difference beyond the field of play by fighting for what they believe in, ultimately impacting people worldwide." Known as "The Big O," Robertson remains one of the most talented basketball players to ever play the sports. A multi-time college basketball player of the year at Cincinnati, Robertson was the 1964 NBA MVP, an NBA champion, a 12-time All-Star and in 1962, became the first player in league history to average a triple-double in a season. But for all of the on-court achievements, it's what Robertson did off the court that left an everlasting impact in the sport. During his playing days, NBA teams retained the rights of players, even if their contracts expired. The only way players could really move teams was either by trade or being released, and free agency was rare. Robertson became president of the NBA Players Association in 1965, and in 1970, he filed an antitrust lawsuit against the NBA. The lawsuit aimed to block the league's merger with the ABA and end contract restrictions players faced from the moment they were drafted. Owners pushed back on the suit and threatened the league wouldn't survive if players were given more power. "Many players shied away from the fight, worried that they would lose their jobs, but Robertson persisted, acutely aware that the status quo was unjust and unnecessary," ESPN said. The lawsuit delayed the NBA-ABA merger and in 1976, the players association and the league reached a settlement that established restricted free agency. While it didn't guarantee players full freedom in free agency, it laid the groundwork for higher player salaries and for the free agency the NBA knows today, where players can freely decide where they want to play. "Acting as an advocate for players' free agency to improve their lives and the NBA was one of the most important acts I did in my career, and I will forever be proud of the impact it had on all professional sports,' Robertson said in a statement. "It's an incredible achievement to be recognized with the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage for my advocacy on and off the court." Named after the transcendent tennis player, the Arthur Ashe Courage Award was first awarded at the inaugural ESPY Awards in 1983, when it was given to Jim Valvano and he delivered his iconic " don't give up" speech. The 2024 winner was former NFL player and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) advocate Steve Gleason. The 2025 ESPY Awards will air July 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT at The Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Hosted by comedian Shane Gillis, it will air on ABC and stream on ESPN+.
