He reminds me so much of a young Marcus Smart, from the draft position, to build, to their defensive propensity, to decent passing ability, to their inability to shoot but gradual improvement.
If he continues to improve, hold on to this guy. If we have our Tatum and Brown in Paolo and Franz, we might just have our Marcus Smart.
List of players who went in the lottery after Suggs was picked
Giddey, Kuminga, Wagner, Davion Mitchell, Ziaire Williams, Bouknight, Primo, Duarte, Moody
How many players (aside from Wagner who we got) would you really take above Suggs for the future? Nobody really excites me
Giddy is the only one. He’s a 6’8 pg with great playmaking skills. That’s tough to beat. Other than that, not much.
I’d fucking hope so. The bar was very low but it has been very good to see him improving
The midrange pull up off the screen is looking very good this year. His floaters seem better this year too, much more finesse than the bricks he was throwing up last year.
