NBA Rumor: Norman Powell Extension

Among several ball-handlers who will come off the board early in the July 29 draft, Suggs, 19, offers the combination of tantalizing talent and NBA readiness that could make him the ideal selection for the Warriors. As one NBA scout said, “He’s not going past four.” Most scouts and draft experts believe Oklahoma State’s Cade Cunningham, the Big 12 Player of the Year and a finalist for the Wooden Award, will be the top pick. But after Cunningham, it’s anyone’s guess how the rest of the top five shakes out between Suggs, USC’s Evan Mobley and the G League Ignite’s Jalen Green and Jonathan Kuminga.
