If there is one thing the Phoenix Suns and their fans have not gotten to see enough of this season, it is Devin Booker and Jalen Green playing together in the backcourt.
New addition Green being limited to just seven games (and only two starts) as a result of repeated hamstring problems. A shame given Booker has looked back to his best on some nights.
Brian Gregory sees Booker/Green as a long-term duo in Phoenix
Ahead of the Suns continuing their push for the playoffs now that the All-Star break is behind them, General Manager Brian Gregory has spoken about the prospect of Booker and Green playing together long-term.
Suns GM Brian Gregory on the potential of Devin Booker and Jalen Green playing together long-term: "I think pretty good. (Green's) explosiveness, his ability to get to the basket, his feel for the game, I think those two guys together are going to form one of the best backcourts,… pic.twitter.com/FvyoAgA2ms

As you can see from Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic above, Gregory is all for the pair being the driving force of Phoenix basketball in the coming years.
If anything the slight hesitation in his answer feels like it has more to do with Green's ability to stay healthy than anything else.
Remember the Milwaukee Bucks were a team who were rumored to be interested in his services in the past, and yet we didn't hear a peep of Green being available at the deadline.
With the right players around them they make a ton of sense in the backcourt, a turbo powered offensive duo who combined can easily give the Suns 50 points each night.
The hope is that Green doesn't lose much of his explosiveness as a result of the injury setbacks he has faced this season, but the front office has already gotten the roster around them built correctly.
You need a guy who can step into the offensive co-star role in Dillon Brooks from time-to-time, while also making his money on the other end of the court.
A dominant center who can stay on the court in Mark Williams is also required, plus guys who will do anything to get minutes (but who can also flat out play) in Collin Gillespie, Jordan Goodwin and Jamaree Bouyea.
The secret sauce here is the 3-point shooting, and the Suns do boast Gillespie, Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale and Amir Coffey in that department.
Perhaps not the most solid defensive structure you've ever seen, yet head coach Jordan Ott continues to find a way to keep them competitive on that end.
The sample size to this point has been small, but sign us up to see how this one unfolds when the two players are finally healthy at the same time.
