Jalen Suggs Has Big Props For Raptors Organization, Ahead of Draft

Prospective Top 4 choice in Thursday's NBA Draft held his pre-draft media availability Tuesday afternoon, and called the Toronto Raptors' player development program "off the charts".

"The player development program is off the charts," says projected top-4 pick Jalen Suggs, who was asked about the Raptors during his pre-draft avail. He mentioned the proximity of the 905 to Toronto as well as the team's success stories: Siakam, Boucher and VanVleet. pic.twitter.com/jOPwgjPEVa

Suggs also pointed out the team's player development success stories by name, notably Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet and Chris Boucher.

Most mock drafts have the Gonzaga 6'5" floor leader going to the Raptors at No. 4, and it sure sounds like he knows a lot about the organization.

Suggs has a lot of confidence in himself as well. "The sky's the limit...it's scary to think about how good I can become."

And finally, Suggs has a message for any team that passes on him in the draft.

Jalen Suggs: "The teams that pass on me it will be to their detriment. I don't forget those kinds of things."
