Congrats Jalen - how about wCC newcomer of the year next year? And maybe some on the bigger stage?

Nice to have a thread about him.

I’m hoping he gets WCC Player of the Year!!!

I can't wait to see Suggs play next year. He looks really great from what I have seen. I am saying the 3 guys in question will all come back. Fingers crossed. With Suggs at PG, Ayayi at SG, Kispert on the wing, Watson at the SF, and Petrusev at PF/C along with Timme, Cook, Harris, Strawther, Ballo, Arlo, and pavel all in the rotation - this team can be promised land special. We have some unfinished from 2017 and this just might be the team to do it. Suggs and the rest of the team are that good. I just hope they can do it in front of their fan base. The Kennel should rock 'n' roll under normal circumstances. Go Zags!!!

One more thing. Sean Farnham from ESPN said that the BYU fans, when they played and beat us during our last game with them, was the LOUDEST he has ever heard any fan base in all of the games he has covered. With Jalen Suggs and the rest of the team leading the way in 2020 - 2021, let's return the favor to Mark Pope and the BYU team. Go Zags!!!!

So true. Team scrimmages would be more competitive than 80% of WCC schedule.

PG: Suggs / Cook
SG: Ayayi / Harris
SF: Kispert / Strawther / Arlauskas
PF: Watson / Timme
C: Petrusev / Ballo / Zakharov

Meanwhile, Daishen Nix is off to the G league. Guess we recruited the right guy.

How concerned should we be that Suggs does the same thing? His father has been pushing hard for him to go pro. Holding my breath. What do you guys think? Nix never indicated the pro option was something he was looking at but Suggs had.

So $300,000+ and a possibility of becoming a two way player, or playing for the Zags with the potential of becoming a lottery pick, if he is as good as he thinks he is.

Makes sense to...someone.

Not sure if or how it affects Suggs. But I will not criticize a kid for taking 300K plus for one year.
If that’s not life changing money for you, your life is very good.

$300K after taxes, paying his agent, buying his new $100K care, and cost of living in cities like LA, is hardly life changing. Good for a kid with nothing? Sure.

Isn't his father, Larry, holding firm not at $300,000 but more like $1 million? I think the G League has said that is not doable. I think some guys got as much as $500,000, not sure what Nix got, but nobody that I know of received what his father is asking for. It would seem for now that Suggs remains a Zag unless they decide to lower their demand by 50-70% which is still a nice number for an 18 year old.

Yes most reports are they were looking for in the range of 1 million dollars to go pro.

This is literally the dumbest financial decision these kids could make. If this kid drops a single slot in the draft by doing this, he will lose millions of dollar over just 2 years. Not to mention that he now has no marketability, and is giving the NBA a whole year to completely dissect him.
