Why The Orlando Magic Do The Deal
So, let’s talk about Suggs’ fit in Orlando. It’s a little clunky. Paolo Banchero has established himself as this team’s primary playmaker of the future.
Meanwhile, the ball is likely to be in one of Franz Wagner or Markelle Fultz’s hands when it’s not in his.
Unfortunately, Suggs’ poor shooting means that he’ll struggle to contribute to a team where he’s so low in the playmaking pecking order.
By contrast, Agbaji is a knockdown shooter. He’s closer to the type of off-ball guard this roster needs.

With that said, he’s not on Suggs’ level as a prospect. That’s why the Magic also receive a first-round pick and a pair of second-rounders for Suggs.
That sounds like a sensible decision for a rebuilding team.
