Jeff Hornacek has said that Gerald Green "jumps over everybody" in order to make shots for the Phoenix Suns.

The shooting guard scored a career-high 41 points in the team's 128-122 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder last night.

The coach told reporters: "I love the way he's playing right now. We knew he could shoot the ball. There's not too many guys that can get on a roll like that.

"The thing that makes him unique [is] some guys you can get up into and maybe challenge a shot a little harder. But Gerald just jumps over everybody. He's making shots that other guys can't get that high to shoot."

Green, who joined the Suns in a trade last summer, has averaged 15.6 points per game since joining the team.
