I'll guess 9

big thing for me is to see how he does concentrating solely on basketball. during HS, he didnt have an offseason to work on his game, he played football during it. now that he is completely focused on basketball, wonder if any more of his skills expand

by the way, anyone notice how pumped Suggs was when Toronto drafted Barnes? Looks like he really wanted to be in Orlando.

ive said before, jealous of the development track record in Toronto. FVV out of nowhere, Siakam, OG looking good, Boucher, unlocked Lowry

how about you send some of those development coaches down to Orlando for some summer vacations. we'll send them back just before the season starts

Yep once we finish making Barnes an allstar we'll throw yall a bone for your 2025 #2 overall pick.

Ujiri will be fine without Weltman holding his hand.

Just joking. I'm sure some of his picks will pan out.

They're friends and played on team USA together, and hes proven to be a leader, he was just happy to see one of his friends succeed......

Getting to play for orlando was just the icing on the cake :wink:

Suggs will wear No. 4.

Wagner will wear No. 21.

Mo Wagner also wore 21 in his limited time with the Magic, so he might not be returning after all.

Exactly, like what could he of really done for it to be a bad workout? Was it an attitude thing? or did he have a bad shooting day (it happens) and all of a sudden hes out at 4?

Eithe way, for whatever reason they passed and i couldnt be happier

Man, the guy is the definition of confidence and leadership.

“What are some of your weaknesses?”

“I don’t think I have any. I think I’m good at everything and now it’s about getting better”

And he somehow manages to deliver that with a sincerity that it doesn’t come off as arrogant or cocky, he’s just speaking facts. Love it.

You can see the excitement in him overflowing, he can barely stay still. 8-)

Im wondering the same thing. Maybe his interview. But hes pretty well spoken so I dont know what he coulda done wrong there. I think Barnes musta just blown them away.

On Suggs Instagram it shows him getting to Orlando on the private jet and walking on the red carpet.

Huh, I didn't realize Jalen was Terrell Suggs' (second, I think?) cousin; of course the thought had crossed my mind but I kinda discarded it as I didn't think there was much resemblance. That's so cool! Terrell is either my favorite or second favorite Ravens player ever (him and Ed Reed kinda alternate in that spot, also shoutout to Anquan Boldin and Lamar, obviously).

they spent time in Tampa this year, maybe a TOR winter will soften them up for the offer from ORL

I don't think so...you've got to figure he's totally expecting to hear his name and then...that was a pretty quick change of gears if he's just that happy for Barnes over himself

...I'm going with he wanted to be here (tired of Minn, Washington winters-now TOR?)

If anyone plays NBA2K21 on PS5

I just uploaded a roster with all the first round rookies uploaded.

My first year doing 2K rosters but I’ve had the number 1 rated Madden roster 3 years running.

Got Jalen Suggs and the rest of the 29 other first round rookies along with all the traded players. Will update free agency when the time comes as well.

WTF is wrong with their legs?

I’m 6’3 and taking the picture looking downward so they look different in the photo then in the actually game lol

2k still doesn’t update the roster before release?

Haven’t played this game in sooo long. Thought this would be something that they would change.

No, they don’t update it once the playoffs end.

You think Suggs purposely tanked his Toronto workout and interview? He seemed pretty excited when Barnes was taken.
