I’m going after Jalen Suggs.

I’d offer Anthony Edwards to Toronto for the 4th pick.

Suggs is a local kid and has the feel of a future captain and true leader similar to a Kyle Lowry.

His playing style for me is a cross between Chancy Billups, Eric Bledsoe, Brandon Roy with the body of a more athletic Kyle Lowry and an attitude of Donovan Mitchell.

Apparently like Mitchell he was mostly a two sport guy through high school, playing as a quarterback…so he may have a lot of growth to his game that would be untapped.
5' 10" former point guard

Career highlight: 1973-74 championship, Boston Celtics

Career lowlight: traded for a washing machine

So basically Edwards + Mobley for Suggs?

I don't see it.

Who are you, Kevin O'Conner? That is the comp he gave for Suggs.  At least give him credit.

There is no reason to be so aggressively obtrusive lol

I’m sorry I didn’t know he had those player comparisons, if you look at any of my previous posts I always try and provide sources that aren’t my opinion.

* Edit: I just checked a few nba mocks and one has Suggs compared to Billups & Roy and another has Donovan Mitchell, so perhaps people can see the same characteristics…instead of all being plagiarists.
