I hope not.
2016-17: 3ppg/1apg/1rpg
2017-18: 8ppg/3apg/4rpg
2018-19: Did Not Play (injury—torn right anterior cruciate ligament)
But looking at his return year, there is hope for Fultz though:
2019-20: 11ppg/4apg/5rpg

Suggs early career could resemble recent Murray.
Murray is a better shooter. Suggs does almost everything else better, which is pretty exciting.fendilim wrote:jonbob17 wrote:drsd wrote:

Murray of the Nuggets???
Suggs is not the type of scorer he is.

I've always liked Murray's size for a PG, he seems to bully small PG's. Suggs might be slightly bigger than him. Suggs' standing reach is 8'3", Murray's is 8'1".

Early Suggs's career could resemble recent Dejounte Murray of the Spurs. Last year 15.7 points, 7.1 reb, 5.4 ast with 1.5 steals. Suggs looks to be an elite rebounder for the position with good defense.

No chance Suggs has that bad of a career. He is a star. I’m thinking best prospect since Luka.

Huh? Lamelo? Edwards? Zion?
Where i'm not big fan of Zion ( to say least) guy is out there averaging 27 ppg on 65% TS at age of 20.

People will look back and kick themselves for not putting him #1. He has virtually no weaknesses. He is the prototypical guard for the modern NBA. He has barely been playing basketball only for a year and he is a winner.

Hey may end up more like Marcus Smart(which isn't bad) than a true shoot/scorer.
I think teams are just going to play off him, and make him shoot.

I think you lost everyone with Marcus Smart? Suggs showed everyone probably in the 1st quarter of Summer League (and NCAA tournament) he's way more offensively gifted than Smart. He's a franchise level player you can build around. Not seeing the Smart comp at all. And I'm honestly being polite in my response I promise.
I know Suggs is the proudest Minnesotan I've ever seen. He always speaks highly about Minnesota.shrink wrote:I know I’m late to the party, but I just wanted to congratulate you guys on getting Jalen Suggs!
I’m from Minnesota, and while I always root for the hapless Wolves, I’ve been a closet Magic fan for some time. I am so happy to see the team finally embrace a rebuild, and it makes me very excited to know you’ll have Suggs for a long time. As a high school athlete here, he could do anything, in whatever sport he tried. Now that he is focusing on basketball alone, I think he has a great chance to be the Rookie of the Year, and become an All NBA player. His upside is off the charts.
I’ve watched the NBA for a long time, and I think the key to winning, beyond all the stats, is to find an athlete that’s special.
I think that’s Suggs. So glad you got him, and enjoy the decade!

I like Smart a lot, but I also don't see it. Suggs appears to a complete player on both ends of the court...he MIGHT not be an elite shooter but he's got a good bit of everything wrapped in an intensely competitive football package.
