Straight from his coach’s mouth - he arrived at Baylor at 235, worked his *** off and at the time of the interview (May) he was down to 200.
Suggs is one of the dudes who have sucked *** in the past who I would be willing to bet on.
He still came in at 235
That's an insane level of dirty bulking for a guard who already had acceptable mass.
As a lazy HS kid. These kids grow up. They mature. They learn work ethic and priorities.
I'd be shocked if he's as tall as Bufkin. Bufkin is the same height as JHS. At least when I watched the Baylor-UCLA game, he looked noticeably shorter than Jaylen Clark. Maybe Amari Bailey's size at best. (But now I'm just spouting off on stuff none of us could really know.)
I heard it mentioned in passing that Cole Anthony disaffected Suggs’ psyche by being an ******* in his attempt to keep his spot in the pecking order there. Like, from the jump.
Same. He showed enough improvement over his rookie season that I wouldn’t mind taking him on.
IDK, that may make me like Suggs worse? Got to be mentally tough to make it in the NBA and if you're letting Cole Anthony throw you off like that it's questionable.
He’d be in my top ten guesses of “what guy breaks out next season” if he was in a different situation. Suggs is what Black would look like if he starts out as a bust imo. Like if Black had the Suggs injuries it could look kinda similar. Think Black puts more pressure on the rim but Suggs might have more shooting upside. It’s a buy low.
Same. But I’m of the opinion that the way to find quality, since the draft is a crapshoot, is by giving yourself as many chances as possible. Hence I stay put unless I could turn 28 + Sexton (or something like that) into a top 15 pick. Still have three picks but all in the top half of the draft.
