2744123, Green is higher upside… but I think Suggs translates to winning. Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Jul-29-21 05:31 PM
People keep comparing Jalen Green to guys like Zach LaVine, maybe Brad Beal… but it’s unclear that guys like that translate to true contention. Scoring 25+ per game is obviously a genuine skill, and it might be huge with the right team… but I can see a world in which he’s a 20+ PPG scorer on this rookie deal on a team that doesn’t crack 40 wins. (Green also still currently has some serious defense issues, much like LaVine.)
Whereas Suggs plays the most important position on the court, he’s a two way player, and he loves the big moment. If it wasn’t for Mobley’s absolutely absurd upside, I’d have Suggs second right today.
