The Phoenix Suns have just undergone a change that may go unnoticed, as it is not a roster transaction. With the team acquiring Jalen Green via the Kevin Durant trade, a question arose in the fan base, and we finally have an answer. What number would he wear? In his rookie season, he wore number 0 but switched to 4 over the last couple of seasons.
The problem? Well, the Suns had two rookies last season in Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro, who already occupied these numbers. So what was the solution?
As we can see, Jalen Green will be wearing the number 4 he has had for the past three seasons in Houston, now in the Valley. Oso Ighodaro has decided to switch to 11, which was last worn by Bol Bol.
Final Thoughts
It does seem that this was the right thing to transpire. With Green being the veteran, the sophomore in Ighdaro giving up his number makes sense. Then you see him transferring to eleven, which suggests to me that Bol Bol will not be back, given the Suns already have a crowded frontcourt, and that remains the case.
