Maybe he is not a star but players who can guard 1-3 and be defensive stopper are valueable.

Number 5 picks befor Suggs this century
2020 Isaac Okoro, Auburn - Cavaliers Cavaliers
2019 Darius Garland, Vanderbilt – Cleveland Cavaliers
2018 Trae Young, Oklahoma – Atlanta Hawks
2017 De’Aaron Fox, Kentucky – Sacramento Kings
2016 Kris Dunn, Providence – Minnesota Timberwolves
2015 Mario Hezonja, FC Barcelona Basquet – Orlando Magic
2014 Dante Exum, Australia – Utah Jazz
2013 Alex Len, Maryland – Phoenix Suns
2012 Thomas Robinson, Kansas – Sacramento Kings
2011 Jonas Valanciunas, Lithuania – Toronto Raptors
2010 Demarcus Cousins, Kentucky – Sacramento Kings
2009 Ricky Rubio, Spain – Minnesota Timberwolves
2008 Kevin Love, UCLA – Memphis Grizzlies
2007 Jeff Green, Georgetown – Boston Celtics
2006 Shelden Williams, Duke – Atlanta Hawks
2005 Raymond Felton, North Carolina – Charlotte Bobcats
2004 Devin Harris, Wisconsin – Washington Wizards
2003 Dwyane Wade, Marquette – Miami HEAT
2002 Nikoloz Tskitishvili, Italy – Denver Nuggets
2001 Jason Richardson, Michigan State – Golden State Warriors
2000 Mike Miller, Florida – Orlando Magic
So 7 all stars out of 21, 6 or so flops (Herzonja, Exum, Len, Robinson, Shelden, Tskitishvili) - the chances and expectations for the 5th pick to become someting more than a serviceable player should be around 33%. Save for a big injury Suggs is going to have a better career than the second group of players, so thats something we can take.

The other 4 guards we have are all under 6'4" and can't really play SF.Right now Black is a third stringer and Howard is a forth stringer. How are either rookie going to get 30 minutes?
Howard in particular will log DNP-CDs. When's the last time lottery players got loads of those?

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but it is plausible that Black and Howard are your injured guards in such a scenario.

How common are trades?
What are the front offices doing during this time?
Coaching staffs?
I know players are doing their own thing; training, resting, playing.
