I don't think Cade has separated himself the way you're making him seem.

He has separated himself when you consider he and the others have been playing basketball for longer than a month. If Suggs continues to play like this and hit 50+ percent of his threes despite not having been much of a shooter in high school and shooting around 60% on free throws, then yeah there's less separation between the two.

I like Suggs. But I'm leaning Mobley, I can't seem to pinpoint a huge weakness or a weakness in general. I see very little holes in his game. If I had to pick it'd probably be his rebounding. I'd like for him to see an uptick in that regard. I like Suggs, Green, Cade, and Mobley. I just don't think the gap is as large as he's making it seem.

His shot looks great. Can he drive?

Man, his pops could drive.

Yeah I think his handle has some wiggle and he's done a good job getting down hill and finishing at the rim. I don't see him as a guy who an offense would be centered around but he seems like he could be a highly productive ancillary piece.

He would be well served to check out film of guys with relatively similar body types like Ron Artest, PJ Tucker, TJ Warren, maybe even a Paul Pierce.

As a Knicks fan, I'm very curious to see if he can make the progress he needs to push his way into the top 10 mix :lol:

Where in the PG tier do we see Suggs ultimately landing?

I think he's really good and slightly below Cade so I have them in Tier 1A and 1B situation.

I should have clarified. I mean at the next level.

I have him as better than Jamal Murray has been. So, like top 12 among point guards in his prime at worst? I think he'll be better than that, probably in the top 10 among point guards somewhere.

I need to see Suggs have some more wiggle in his game off the dribble. Seems to get stonewalled driving.

Agreed, I'm still on the fence as to whether he has the scoring potential to be a #1 option.

Love everything else about his game and mentality.

I like SI's current Big Board better than some others.

So regarding Isaiah Todd, do people think he's a mid-1st pick, or is he basically Perry Jones IV ?

Suggs strikes me as the Ferrari version of Jim Jackson. I don't think he's a #1 option, but he'll be ideal as a big, bruising PG who can run a team. We won't know the extent of his IQ until we see him on an NBA floor.

I think Bouknight is going to get some comparisons to Ja Morant before this season is over, and people will say he's a better shooter than Morant.

what? Ja Morant was a PG, Bouknight isn't

Bouknight's averaging 1.6 assists per 36, compare that to Morant's historic 10 assists per 36...also Morant was a full year younger as a Soph (Morant was FS aged)

I guess you can compare them athletically and body types but that's about it.

Moses Moody is quietly having a fantastic season...

This. It’s easy to identify the people who never watched Cade play in high school or FIBA.

What you do in the NCAA is millions of times more relevant than what you do in high school... though still, NCAA performance also needs to be taken with a grain of salt(the good and the bad)

Those two statements directly contradict each other.
