With Paolo and Franz out, Suggs is trying his best to be a player he is not. You really can’t blame him.


That means he's not worth a max contract


Who says he is? Suggs is just trying his best to fill in for Paolo and Franz.

I liked the Knicks before... until Brunson became the player i hated in Lowry.

TBF he doesnt injure intentionally other players but his flopping and baiting is up there. And the refs alwqys fall for.it.

I want the Knicks in the play-ins, 1st round, 2nd round, I don't care. Just a very unlikable team.

But here is a riddle - Suggs has played 27 games this year.
How many time he has shot over 50% from the field?
Answer - 2.

It's his 4th season, so maybe this is what he is, a poor offensive player with one outliner of a season.

I'm not throwing him under the bus, but we have to accept that he should have a smaller role and maybe focus on the thing he does the best, although we are going to pay him too much for being a defense only player.
Suggs is miscast in his role now, I think he was fine at the SG position.....he has too much on his plate, it's going to look better when paolo gets back.... But Jalen shouldn't be depended on offensively, he doesn't have the bag for that

Come on now, lol. The Magic are not paying Suggs to be a go to guy. He is not even getting max money. As somebody needs to score, Suggs is forced to be a guy he is not with Paolo and Franz out. I have no clue why he is getting blamed. If Franz and Paolo were playing he’d be fine. This is just what happens when your top two guys go down.

They had us down 37 in the cup game which was the limit of eliminating us and then punked us tonight.

My vote for Dunce cap goes to WCjr but KCP and Suggs aren't too far behind.

Brunson used his off arm on Suggs the same way Moe did earlier, and they didn't call the game the same both ways.

91 points, with 52 coming from Moe and TDS is not a good day at the office offensively
I still believe in Magic! Welcome to the Franz & Paolo era

I like how hard we played for most of the game. The defense was solid. Take away Brunson, KAT, or even Hart, and we win.
Gonna be a long month...

Jalen Suggs is not a #1 option.

He’s an ancillary guy on offense that sets the pace for your teams defense that makes other teams pay when they focus too heavily on Franz or Paolo.

Since last season’s playoffs, and the beginning of this season, he has been put into a role for the sake of the FO waiting around for a point guard to appear. I hated the KCP acquisition for this reason.

Hes forced to try to be a player he isn’t right now. Anthony Black, Cole Anthony, and Corey Joseph just aren’t cutting it right now as replacements off the bench.

this statement is completely fair... if you completely ignore whatever has happened during this season with injuries to two guys who will take around 30-45 shots a game lol



Even with them, he was having a bellow average shooting season on a lower usage.

The thing is he is going to get paid more than 30m for being 10 ppg guy. He offers a lot of things, so it's not a disaster, but it's not a great outing too.
