Jalen Suggs

Marcus Smart?

What is interesting about Orlando is they are such a young team...four starters from last night were all drafted in the 1st round in the last three years and they have two other 1st round picks coming off the bench...

Orlando would like to win immediately BUT that organization is planning to be competitive in the next two-three years...it will take time for this team to jell and for it's members to learn how to play at that level against some of the worlds best athletes...

I remember when Keith Smart came up with Boston, he was a horrible outside shooter and made many poor decisions BUT now he is a very capable player in the NBA...Suggs reminds me of him and he has the tools to be a decent player in the next couple of years...he just needs time to adjust and learn...

Playing three to four times a week will be also be the challenge to cope physically in every game...

I think Keith hit the game winner vs ‘cuse in season on brink.😎

Yes, Marcus not Keith...memory is failing...SORRY!

The Magic are in Toronto tonight. Scottie Barnes is downplaying the no. 4 vs. 5 draft pick rivalry saying that Suggs "is like a brother to me."

It's a story line in the media, none the less.

Yeah they are friends but Scottie is just a better NBA player and projects to be a better player going forward. I’m hopeful Jalen is solid but might not live up to 5th overall expectations.

Keith Smart is a little long in the tooth now.

I watched the game last night. Jalen was outstanding, especially down the stretch in the the 4th quarter.

Demar may have scored more points than Jalen but......

Wow, made up his mind after his junior year! The hardest thing was keeping my decision under raps...

He is a great young man and a super ambassador for GU!
