Orlando Magic fans have learned even more about top draft pick Jalen Suggs during his time in the NBA Summer League. The main thing: The dude has hops.
Suggs was so impressive with a put-back, one-handed dunk he threw down over the top of a weak box out by Cleveland’s Lamar Stevens, that he was all over ESPN’s SportsCenter highlights and Top 10 plays of the day Thursday night. After the throw-down, Suggs turned and had some words for Stevens.
Suggs has shown his leaping ability on several different occasions during the summer league. He went high to block three shots against Golden State on Monday and he thwarted other shot attempts against Cleveland but was not credited with any blocks.
