Gonzaga star freshman Jalen Suggs declares for NBA Draft
Gonzaga guard Jalen Suggs declared for the 2021 NBA Draft, he announced on Monday afternoon.
Here's what draft analyst Matt Babcock of BasketballNews.com has to say on Suggs:
"At the helm for the Gonzaga Bulldogs this past season was star freshman Jalen Suggs, who led their team to a 31-1 record and near perfect season. At 6-foot-4, Suggs, a competitive, true point guard, with a winning mentality, has drawn comparisons to former NBA greats such as Jason Kidd and Deron Williams, and has seemingly established himself as a near lock to be a top-5 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. Suggs is currently No. 3 on our BasketballNews.com’s 2021 NBA Draft Big Board."
