    Get Simmons. No pressure and he can fit with Scoots I & II or Wemby. Anywhere on floor. Talented. But no pressure here, did I mention? EGo/BM & BKLN finds draft capital (while saving upwards of 25 mil).

    Downside: eats into cap room. I’ll live with that.

    ....

    Suggs has some similarities with the Grizzlies' Lowry who even played some minutes as SG by then. People commented on him that he was not a pure PG as well, because he was very physical and still lacked poise, experience and shooting reps. I remember it well because he played with Pau Gasol, and that team had a lot of follow-up here in Spain.

    Suggs has struggled so far, has had no continuity because of injuries, but still has much more upside than Tyus Jones, guys. And Davion Mitchell as well. Both have more defensive and offensive upside.

    The name of Alvarado it has appeared. Would like it, even as starter, but would prefer Davion/Suggs potential, and now would be the time to get them cheaper.

    He shows all the confidence in the g league and zero in the NBA. He needs to translate that same energy.

    He showed some flashes of a decent backup PG when he initially came back from the G-league. He needs to work very hard to make the grade.
