Suggs even addresses this himself on Russillo’s podcast. said he had to look in the mirror and say hey, this team already has ball handlers, where can I improve to fit in 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was a 5 star WR recruit in HS. Unbelievable athlete. High Motor. Only started playing basketball competitively in early high school (like Tim Duncan, whom was extremely raw at 19 at Wake Forest, my alma mater). I don't care if the shot doesn't have "normal" mechanics. That might limit his ceiling but there are a lot of guys who didn't have "normal form" and did fine (Reggie Miller, Tracey McGrady, etc.). The guy has a high floor, good character, high bball IQ, great athlete, plays hard, and he's 19. I'm not giving up on him until 3-4 years from now if he hasn't shown improvement. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTMagicUK 1,482 Report post Posted January 27 https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1ac2pj6/bringbackthepicks_this_st_got_me_tight_your_son/ TLDR: Some stuff on Reddit/Hawks Twitter about how Dejounte Murray was DMing a fan (who tweeted about him in a negative way) talking about how the coach was using him one way in practice and another way in games and how all he does is run up and down and spot up. The fan tweeted it out after Murray's dad complained on Twitter about Hawks fans bashing his son and ended the tweet with #Feb8. It all comes across as kind of bitter. Does not make me like him more. But probably goes some way into explaining why the asking price doesn't seem too high if he has been unhappy for weeks and basically asked to be traded.

He has been heavily involved in Trade Rumors for weeks. I get why he would want out of there. Not the classiest thing I’ve heard to be sure. I’d still take him though for the right price.

ball junkie 277 Report post Posted January 27 Orlando Magic (eighth, 23-21) What they need: Shooting. Since Dec. 12, the Magic rank 29th in both 3s made and percentage. I identified them as the NBA’s worst overall shooting team last month when they were playing well. The wins have dried up in the second quarter of the season, and the painful shooting is a major reason why. Who they should target: Memphis Grizzliesshooting guard Luke Kennard. The Magic have a surplus of point guards. Cole Anthony was extended, Anthony Black was drafted, and Jalen Suggs is starting at shooting guard. Markelle Fultz is in a contract year. The Grizzlies should be looking for assets in what is a lost season. Kennard is shooting a four-year low from 3, and that’s still good enough for 42.6 percent. https://theathletic.com/5228489/2024/01/26/nba-trade-deadline-team-needs/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJZFL 619 Report post Posted January 28 You really need multiple shooters otherwise they key on the one guy you have out there who’s a threat, and still clog the paint against everyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
