NBA Draft prospect: Jalen Suggs, Gonzaga
At least for me personally, Jalen Suggs is my second-best prospect. In just one season at Gonzaga, he seemed as close to a complete package as there is in this draft class (other than Cunningham, at No. 1). That said, should he fall out of the top 2, there’s going to be a team picking at No. 3 that is going to leave draft night very happy.
Suggs has good size (at 6-foot-4) for a point guard, is a good defender, and can be a true motor for any offense. He also showed the ability to score at will when needed. Suggs is coming off a freshman season in which he averaged 14 points, five rebounds, and five assists per game while nearly leading the Zags to a perfect season.
Suggs seems like the complete package for me and I believe that he’s going to inject renewed confidence and excitement for a franchise that is in desperate need of it. He has the chance to be really good right away.
