Efficient and Composed Performance

Despite a reputation for a wild playing style, Green showed composure and efficiency throughout his impressive debut. He scored 29 points on 10-of-20 shooting from the field and 6-of-13 from three-point range in just 23 minutes. His ability to read the game and capitalize on his talents was evident.

Positive Impact on Team Success

Green’s influence on the game was further demonstrated by his remarkable plus-minus of +30, the highest in the game, indicating his strong contribution to the Suns' victory.

“Takes a lot of pressure off anybody,” said Devin Booker about Green. “With the opportunity and space he can pretty much do anything.”

It was notable that Booker, who had not missed a game in more than two years, remarked on how he couldn’t get his usual pregame nap after missing the first eight games of the season.
