STAR UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: ATHLETIC, ALL-AROUND COMBO GUARD

 

The 5th overall pick in 2021, Jalen Suggs is a physical, 6’4 guard w/ a fearless mentality; tough finisher in the paint, Suggs invites contact when driving to the lane* - liable to put anyone on a poster (via oops, straight drives, tip slams) - goes up with max. effort when there’s a clean runway; streaky outside shooter at this stage, (not afraid to let it fly) - good form, still discovering when/where to attack within the flow of the offensive; specializes in a lot of “little things” - always on the floor diving for loose balls; future lockdown defender? Suggs has great quickness, likes to harass at the point of attack (able to check larger guards & 3s?); (potentially) playing off-ball during first couple of seasons should develop positive, long-term tendencies as a secondary playmaker; good control w/ the rock in his hands, learning how to play efficiently outta the PnR; valuing shot selection and staying effective as a focal point offensively is most important early on; made tremendous strides in Year 2 - borderline Future Top DOG: Suggs is a do-it-all, two-way player in Jamahl Mosley’s lineup
