Just think it's a bigger leap to envision him putting together enough offensively to be able to be a true ceiling raiser compared to what Jalen brings to the table.
Feels much, much easier to see a path for Suggs to true superstar-dom.

I'd argue the post Carmelo Nuggets were a rebuild, he just did such a good job no one noticed

There's a slew of people who think Suggs is something that he isn't.

I didn't watch the game yesterday but is conditioning an issue for him? The reason I ask is because not every athlete's body looks the same. Paul Pierce didn't gain an ounce of muscle tone for his entire career and was still getting buckets. Luka is one of the best players in the league and is still carrying some baby fat, same goes for the Joker

I just don't think Suggs is a good enough shooter to peg him as a bonafide star. Could he really improve upon it, absolutely. I really like him a lot. Not really buying him being some completely different level of prospect though.
Barnes isn't a good shooter, but he also isn't a non-shooter. He's significantly more valuable defensively than Suggs because of his size and versatility. Better rebounder. Same level passer. To me, he's Ben Simmons-ish, but with a willingness to shoot and more competitive "fire" for lack of a better term.
Same tier to me.

Don’t think Bol was ever projected as a star …The problem is Denver hasn’t set a role for him, hopefully they give him a chance in the rotation this season or trade him somewhere to get mins

Think that’s just his body type, he’s not really “out of shape” just got that wide body like his pops
while his bro’s look like typical hoopersGelo issue has always been they he can only do 1 thing and that’s shoot decently, no evidence of any other real basketball skills

. He dunked over Kai Sotto in a Filipino tournament back in the homeland so I’m sure Jalen has become the second coming of Pinoy Jesus among fans there.

It would give them a 3rd or 2nd option depending on how long it takes Klay to shake the rust off and less shots Dray, he can focus strictly on defense (even though his defense been getting overrated).

Oden's knees are the reason Embiid went #3. Imagine if the Sixers ended up with Jabari Parker
Our lotto picks would have been Noel, Jabari, Jah, Simmons, Fultz

He's such a good fit switching between 4 and 5 with Dray. Plus the gravity of Steph and Klay would mean that Siakim can go nuts on Spin Cycle.

Sixers prob don’t get Jah, -name redacted-, Fultz if no Embiid.Oden's knees are the reason Embiid went #3. Imagine if the Sixers ended up with Jabari Parker

14-15 Sixers with Jabari, MCW, Wroten, Noel would’ve still been bad but a fun/competitive bad. Probably not having a 26 game losing streak

But they were drafted and playing tho. So the standards are different. Gelo should be running around the court like Reddick and rip Hamilton all game looking for the open shot. I need that kind of conditioning from him to stand out
