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’m going to disagree with both of you here.
a) You can’t expect to be taken seriously by comparing Suggs to Marcus Smart. I get the fire and passion on the defensive end but Suggs brings so much more than Smart on the offensive side. You have to see that.
b) I refuse to use the label “franchise player” for anyone until they prove it at the NBA level and do it with some consistency. Suggs is not Marcus Smart offensively but that isn’t saying much. How much better is he really? He needs to be A LOOOOOT better if he is a franchise player. Otherwise he is more a Kyle Lowry level player. Not bad, but not a franchise guy.
