2763662, Sabonis, obviously.

Most PGs struggle with efficiency year 1 in the NBA, especially on bad rosters, so not surprised that Suggs struggled. I still really like him long term.

But Gonzaga normally doesn't have recruits of the pedigree of Sabonis/Suggs/Holmgren. So not too much of a surprise that some of their better players like Hachimura or Brandon Clarke have become Just Guys in the league. Hachimura was 152nd in the RCSI (Recruiting Services Consensus Index), and Clarke didn't even make the list.

But Suggs was 11th in the RCSI, and Holmgren was... #1, lol. Easily their biggest two blue chip recruits to date. It'll be interesting to see if they can shine in the league, and it'd then be interesting to see what that means going forward for Zags recruiting.
