Jalen Suggs Scouting Report

Suggs is the second best point guard in the draft class right now, just behind Cade Cunningham. He is a true floor general, and he was at the heart of the Gonzaga offense. He is an unselfish point guard, and that is how he gets the best out of his teammates.

Suggs is known for his athleticism, and has the ability to blitz past defenders. He combines his agility and his ball handling to get his opponents in knots. This has helped him become an elite slasher, who can finish through contact.

Standing at 6'4, Suggs is taller than the average point guard. That gives him an advantage over his matchup, and he uses that well on defense. He is a persistent defender who combines grit and his intellect.

Although 33% from deep isn't bad at the college level, Suggs' shooting is the only major weakness in his game. If he can improve that along with his shot selection, he can be a promising combo guard in the NBA.
