Orlando Magic need Jalen Suggs to fill in their weaknesses
Jalen Suggs showed up big time for the Orlando Magic in his Summer League debut.
Before a thumb injury kept him out from the third game and beyond, the fifth overall pick averaged 15.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game. He walked away as one of the most impressive rookies in Summer League, even if there was just a three-game sample size to work from.
Magic fans spent the entire offseason excited for what was to come in Suggs’ rookie season.
