Jalen Green

After four roller-coaster seasons in Houston, Green was packaged in a deal with Dillon Brooks and sent to Phoenix in exchange for Kevin Durant. Green plateaued in Houston and struggled mightily to end the year. He scored single digits in 16 of 89 total games in 2024-25, with seven of those coming during the Rockets' last 10 contests, including playoffs. While his highest-scoring campaign came in 2022-23 (22.1 points per game), Green was more efficient in all three phases during the following two seasons, elevating his value in category leagues. However, he's yet to crack the top 50, despite missing only six regular-season games over the last three years. Phoenix's roster construction for 2025-26 is puzzling overall, and one of the bigger questions is how Green will mesh with Devin Booker. Both are excellent 1-on-1 players, but for them to reach their peak fantasy value, they'll have to find a way to get each other open looks. Regardless of how well they work together, there isn't a player on this team who'll compete with the duo for usage, theoretically giving Green free rein offensively. That certainly bodes well for Green's overall value in points leagues, but managers in category leagues need to be aware that the 23-year-old guard has yet to shoot above 42 percent from the floor in four seasons. That likely won't change while operating as a go-to player in the Suns' clunky offense. Read Past Outlooks
