    It's been a great year for Jalen Suggs, the young Orlando Magic star who continues to establish himself as one of the premiere defenders in all of basketball. As the Orlando Magic look to build a contending team around Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, the emergence of Jalen Suggs as a two-way menace has been the icing on the cake for a season where they've emerged as one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.

    So happy you did a video on Suggs. He really struggled a lot the past couple of years trying to be the savior at PG like he did at Gonzaga and that’s just not his role in the NBA. I’m glad he’s morphing into an unstoppable 3 and D guard who’s all over the place

      You still have a pretty promising team. Cade and Duren are going to be very good one day. Ivey is solid. Stewart and Fontechioo could be pretty solid role players as well. Your coaching and front office are an absolute mess though. You really should be putting everything you have into putting pieces around Cade and Duren

    Suggs development this year has arguably been the biggest development in the Magic rebuild. Paolo is the obvious #1. Franz just needs to find his perimeter shot again.

      @ajayjaggernauth8500 Před 2 měsíci +2

      I would counter with JI. The fact that we even stuck with him after all the injuries is remarkable. And the fact that he's developed into an arguable generational defender and the best minute per minute defender in the NBA is incredible

    His 3p% growth is motivating! His defense is S class but watching some of his defensive highlights it seems so intense bordering on reckless. Hope he gets a bag for his 3 and D and then be more selective with his defensive intensity.

    Another thing Suggs does well is throw full court out of bounds passes. The Magic will have him inbound when there’s only a couple seconds left and his throw the ball like a QB the full court to Franz in perfect stride for an easy shot.

    He’s actually been elite defensively since day 1. RAPTOR ranking rated him as one of the 5 best defensive guards in his rookie season.
    This season he is actually healthy. Combined with the Magic actually winning games, he is getting his due. I appreciate how you said people are finally waking up. And offense he is coming around, now that his ankles and wrists(he sprained both his rookie season) are healthy. Still a ton of upside with Jalen on offense as well. Can’t wait to see him progress.
