Draft Watch: Jalen Suggs could usher in a new Raptors era

The NBA Draft is this week, and there’s a good chance the Toronto Raptors keep things simple and draft the best available player available at #4. And if most mock drafts hold, that player might well be Jalen Suggs — and it might turn out to be a brilliant move.

This assumes Toronto keeps the 4th overall pick, of course. But Suggs just makes sense in that spot. He may not be as sexy a pick as, say, Jalen Green or Evan Mobley. But Suggs’ floor is already higher than Green and Mobley. If he ends up with the right team, perhaps Suggs can even exceed expectations and be the better player than those two players in 2-3 years.
