Zach Lowe said Jalen Green's career could make him think about certain NBA prospects differently moving forward.

It is easy to simplify how different the NBA is from a style of play perspective 10 years ago compared to now and the Phoenix Suns are open to taking advantage of that.

Opinions on the Phoenix Suns vary ahead of the 2025-26 season, though the team mostly is expected to sit at the bottom of the Western Conference while figures such as first-year coach Jordan Ott and star player Devin Booker figure out the best course of action to put Phoenix back on the right path.

The Phoenix Suns could see Mark Williams being the reason the team has sustained success in the 2025 NBA season.
