Not currently. Not shooting. Not ever.

The data is for the first three games only. The data doesn’t measure shooting. It measures field goal percentage. It only includes players that have attempted at least 30 field goal attempts in their first three games.

My "opinion" is two fold.

1) Suggs or bust for this team moving forward.

2) The PG position is the hardest job on the court and rookie PGs are always bad.

I think in practice this might means Suggs could see some bench play this season. But moving towards next season and beyond, our faith must be in Suggs' continued development.

If Jalen is a pg then you bring him off the bench for Markelle when he returns. It will still probably be 20-25mpg and starting when Fultz rests on b2b. If he is a sg then you start him with Fultz and bring Cole off the bench. Cole will lead the guard rotation in minutes regardless if he starts or not.
