christian laettner and jalen suggs are not similar players!

he is the one who dunks on the play in that video above xp

that celebration is legit obscene

suggs doesn’t quite have the athleticism of drose or westbrook, but he’s not far off, and his jumper is wayyyy ahead of either of theirs

that's gotta be one of the greatest basketball games ever

_there’s basically no way suggs isn’t a multiple time all star_

people said the same about christian laettner

th they were both good in college tho, think about it

tbf christain latner made one allstar game which is only one short of multiple

there’s been 3 amazing final four games that have ended in long distance buzzer beaters in the last 5 years (villanova-UNC, duke-butler) which can only happen in college bcuz you can’t advance the ball lol

suggs looks like a combo of devin booker and klay thompson to me

i can't even believe i'm commenting on this but laettner's career was on the lower end of expected outcomes.

Suggs got to live out every kid's dream right there

ucla mightve considered preventing him from walking into that shot

he’s by far the most athletic guy on either team and he was going at full speed, they weren’t gonna stop him without putting him on the line

yea idk why 4/5 ucla guys were running back to to their own basket m/l w 3 seconds left

wow someone should tell every basketball player about that incredible hack xp

kinda love watching timmie play he’s like the ideal college player

yeah he’s gross but was awesome in the game.

it’s tough for college kids to organize themselves like that with no time out, smart decision by few to go with the flow

if any ucla player just makes suggs take a different line this shot gets so much more difficult

The final sequence between Gonzaga and UCLA was wild. Such a fun game with an all-time great finish. pic.twitter.com/XnKX0WZDBW

welcome to college ball

where are they all running to!

class

maybe they are going to the beach

Gonzaga and UCLA combined to shoot 58.2%, the highest combined FG Pct in a Final Four game since the 1985 national title game (Villanova-Georgetown: 63.0%). pic.twitter.com/BQXkSxeWOd

mr sports

amazing

future 'Suggs Knows..." campaign

he's a relative of terrell suggs

i remember video of christian laettner scrambling for a 60 yard touchdown as well

how is it not cade, srs question, i dont watch college hoops

― class project pat (m bison)

i explained this above, Suggs looks like he cares and Cade does not

this thread could use more people who actually watch / enjoy / don't look down on college basketball

produces deep insights

lol

lol this whole thread so far and not a mention yet of Duke's best player, R.J. Barrett

granted, Zion is much better than i realized. it's insane that if he were in the NBA today, he'd be the second heaviest-listed player (behind Boban) at 6'7".

shots fired

lol i was just searching for the explanation of why to take suggs over cade, which is tbf a much more defensible position than barrett over zion

^ Seems like a big zing now, but even though everyone knew Zion was a shoo-in for first pick, but Barrett went pretty damned high, too, and that was well within the consensus about Barrett's NBA potential.

ok man

cade is gonna be the top pick bcuz he's a wing. i think suggs has a higher floor tho, there just aren't many guards who have his skillset. at the absolute worst he'd at least be avery bradley with better shooting if his offense just doesn't develop at all. cade will need his athleticism to show up more and i think there's some questions about how well he'll be able to score inside the arc, he's a very good shooter tho

i don't think it's true that cade doesn't care. i think the implication is that cade sometimes floats thru games, but it's more noticeable w/ him bcuz he isn't playing w/ anyone nearly as good as him. it's not really comparable to suggs who plays w/ a first team all american (kispert) and and a second team (timmie) and can have stretches of games where he has little impact but his team still kicks ass. i find it hard to watch cade put up 40 on the road vs OSU's rival ranked in the top 10 including taking like every shot in the final minute and blocking a shot and say he doesn't care

one of the things about college basketball culture is demonstrativeness and passion 4 tha game are completely conflated, when really a steady determined disposition like cades is prob more suited for nba success, tho obvs all sorts of personalities can work

i dont think cade over suggs is any sort of "slam dunk" but cade just is a prototypical 2021 nba player, and hes really good, suggs is also very well cut out for the nba but doesnt quite have the positional flexibility everyone is looking for, hes a guard where cades a wing, however suggs could easily turn out to be the better player, or someone else, one of the g-league ignite© guys i mean
