It&#8217;s the same in practice,&#8221; Ott said of Green.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_y7yo35ssv\">&#8220;&#8230; He&#8217;s been great the entire time. So he&#8217;s getting it in here and there and that&#8217;s really helped him as he&#8217;s progressed here. We know when he gets into live action that hopefully his involvement overall can be sped up because of the reps he&#8217;s been able to take even though he isn&#8217;t playing in the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_tw1kdyz7y\">&#8220;He&#8217;s a 23-year-old, high energy, high spirited, high character young man and we can feel that even though he&#8217;s not out there on the court playing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"base_1emrqjj-o_O-initial_fzbddc-o_O-style_1a1csmw\" alt=\"Phoenix Suns\" title=\"Phoenix Suns\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Oct 25, 2025; Denver, Colorado, USA; Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks (3) reacts after making a shot during the first half against the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena.
