Suggs has had an objectively horrendous NBA career. So yes, if we're going to be any good, we need our actual third-best player to be, say, Franz Wagner, because we've signed or traded for a star and are rolling out Banchero, Wagner, and [Star X]. If Suggs can carve himself out a niche role as a Tony Allen 20-mins-a-night defensive presence, more power to him and I hope the Magic keep him (cheaply). He still makes way too many boneheaded plays, though, so I dunno.
The Suggs love on this board can only be attributed to the "got that dog in him" crowd. Some peeps just can't get over that.
Suggs was horrible his rookie season playing 48 injury riddled games. Since then he has been fine for a 2nd/3rd year player. Every day he's proving that his rookie season was more of a fluke. His defense is still elite but i dont know what you're watching if you're still comparing him to Tony Allen and ignoring the offensive potential he flashes. Suggs has been our 4th best scorer this season. Lots of guys in their careers have had horrible rookie seasons and went on to develop into stars.

Fair enough, but I'd be shocked if Suggs develops into a star.

I just love the intensity he plays with. Teams used to see Orlando on the schedule and circle it as an easy win, with the defense and especially how Suggs brings It all together, teams coming to play us better bring it, Suggs is coming after everyone at full intensity as long as he's on the court

But then again I have some big thighs myself so our lord and savior Jalen Suggs has not made me insecure.

I view Suggs like what AG is for Denver, Smart was for Boston, Tony Allen was for Memphis, and Dillon Brooks is for Houston. I feel like he is a really good defender who may pop off for 20 here and there and is the heart and soul of a team. But I don’t think he is a guy who will avg 20+ year in and year and a person people will go for offense

Don't really have an issue capping him at 20-25 MPG to maximize his chaos either.
