  "account": "Phoenix Suns' Jalen Green aims to enhance his playmaking abilities, having worked with NBA legend Steve Nash during the offseason. Green, 24, currently averages 3.3 assists in his five NBA seasons but remains confident in his abilities, stating, \"Same me, just getting guys involved a little more.\" Nash, a five-time assist leader, took on a senior adviser role with the team last season and helped Green improve his decision-making. Green's increased ball-handling time, coupled with his offseason training, is expected to positively impact his performance, potentially relieving the pressure on Devin Booker to be the primary playmaker.",
  "summary": "Jalen Green has never averaged more than four assists a game, but the Phoenix Suns are putting the ball in his hands more this season to make plays.",
