Listed height 6'4 Scouting report: one of the best defensive players in the class, can play on or off ball as a guard, projects to be a solid shooter with some things to iron out. Ok so I've deliberately left some details out to make my point but the point is roughly, Player A and Player B are similar in profile. Player A is Cason Wallace. Player B is prospect Jalen Suggs. And to be clear this is not an anti Wallace post, it would only be that if I was low on Jalen Suggs and I'm still not (possibly in the minority now?). But because I'm a believer in Suggs still being a good NBA player I'm possibly lower on adding someone with a similar skillset. (Of course this could end up being a very bad take if Wallace is a superawesome NBA player right out of the gate but such is the world of discussing draft prospects.) Good post. Having watched both play, I don't think they play the same way. Suggs is crazy fast and helter-skelter, while Wallace seems to be more intentional and methodical. I also see Wallace more as a PG next to Paulo an Franz, whereas clearly Suggs is more of a SG on our team. I believe a lot also revolves around how the team views Cole long-term. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be fitting if I got to my 1,000 post likes on underwear jokes after all the basketball analysis lol 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree they play differently that plays into what I was saying about having to omit stuff to make them sound similar and it's a fair point. I would say though that while Suggs feels like a SG now he was very much viewed as a PG as a prospect. Ultimately how we view anyone not named Franz/Paolo shouldn't decide who we draft. If you think Wallace is BPA do it and we'll figure it out later. Weltman has earned enough good will with me over the last 2 drafts that I'll trust his team's opinion over my own. If we pick Wallace I'll get hyped about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
