Heightened expectations for Suns are the enemy of happiness, but Jalen Green may be finding his anyway | Suns After Dark: A Phoenix Suns Pod Site Get more from Suns After Dark: A Phoenix Suns Pod Site on Patreon

Among 237 players who have attempted at least 75 shots since Feb. 1, Jalen Green ranks 234th in FG% over that span.

@geraldbourguet.bsky.social took a look at where he's struggled, the context behind those struggles, and where he's made strides the last few games ⬇️

It's been a bumpy few weeks for Jalen Green, but the context behind his struggles matters. For @sunsafterdark.bsky.social, I wrote about what we've seen from him so far in a Suns jersey, where concerns remain, and how he might be ready to turn a corner:

Rasheer Fleming just made an incredibly difficult finish over Nick Richards look easy. That 7-foot-5 wingspan is no joke!

Just a reminder that heading into the season, most people expected the Suns to trade vets like Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen.

Instead, they're closing out tight wins over the Lakers, all with Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks out injured. Incredible stuff

Yeah I don’t wanna hear shit about how Devin Booker fell off because his scoring is like 1-2 points down or his 3P% is bad or whatever.

You cannot watch this Suns offense right now and tell me his impact is anything less than immense

The highs and lows of Mark Williams are worth a conversation. So for @sunsafterdark.bsky.social, I had that conversation with myself, pitting optimist vs. pessimist to make sense of his first season with the #Suns:

Yet again, injuries threaten to derail a promising Suns season. I wrote about curses, how I don't believe in curses, but how if I DID believe in curses, Phoenix's traumatic history would undoubtedly make them the most cursed team in the NBA:

The Suns say Devin Booker (right hip strain) will be re-evaluated in 1 week, while Haywood Highsmith (right knee rehabilitation) is β€œmaking good progress” and will be re-evaluated in 2-3 weeks

Devin Booker (right hip strain) is out for tomorrow’s game against the Magic. Grayson Allen (right ankle sprain) is listed as questionable, while Haywood Highsmith (right knee injury management) and Cole Anthony (not with team) remain out

I did! S2 is good, but you definitely don’t need to watch it for this new show. I like both, but they’re very different
