When things appear too good to be true, they often are. Case in point: The rise and fall of Gerald Green in Phoenix.
Last season featured several happy surprises as the Suns won about twice the number of games forecast for them at the beginning of the year. One of the best was Gerald Green, a career journeyman gifted to the Suns from the Pacers in the Luis Scola trade (along with Miles Plumlee and the draft pick used for Bogdan Bogdanovic).
Green proved to be a revelation in 2013-14: an electrifying athlete, explosive scorer and occasional superstar.
