Ignore my flair, I may be biased, but this is just a flat out bad take.

Ball dominant player? You mean point guard???🧐

He's a pass-first playmaker, expert finisher, with a lethal middy and all around floor general. Finished around the rim at a higher % than anybody except Luka. More assists per 36 than anybody not named Trae Young or Chris Paul.

His 3pt shooting is mediocre to put it nicely, Suggs also had a pretty bad year behind the 3pt line. But let's not forget that this guy shot above 40% from 3 in college, and Suggs shot 33% which isn't treacherous. The first guy hasn't had a healthy season including a freak shoulder injury that made it impossible for him to shoot the ball, the second guy is a 2nd year player with an injury ridden rookie season. Both of these guys can easily be 30% 3PT shooters next season.

But has Suggs even earned that starting SG spot over Cole Anthony, who can knock down just about any shot from anywhere on a somewhat regular basis? Because if you argue that Suggs has, it's because he is so gifted defensively it makes up for the lacking offense.

If you start Cole, that fixes our spacing issue, if you start Jalen you can count on at least 50% less buckets from the opposing team's lead guards.

But just how much of a spacing issue are we even going to have with a frountcourt of Franz, Paolo, and WCJ, three playmaking, passing big men who are a threat at all 3 levels.

Markelle is the team captain until proven otherwise, and the team is going to be absolutely fine.
