Jalen Suggs
Jalen Suggs was one of many elite players for Gonzaga this season during their run to the National Title game. As a freshman, Suggs averaged 14.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game. He propelled himself as a top-three prospect heading into the 2021 NBA Draft and had some huge moments this season. Of course, the season for Suggs was highlighted by a buzzer-beater against UCLA in the Final Four.
If there is one part of Jalen Suggs’ game that needs to be improved, it is his three-point shot but he showed the ability to knock down some big ones over the course of the season. His game with the ball in his hands getting to the rim is polished.
Suggs is an elite ball handler and can score at the rim at will. He is a bit more NBA ready than other guards in the league, especially the G-League players. This is the reason Jalen Suggs has been linked to the third selection in the 2021 NBA Draft in recent weeks.
