A 6-foot-4 point guard out of Gonzaga, Suggs is a key part of the Magic’s youth movement. The franchise has made the playoffs just twice since 2012 and has not advanced beyond the first round since 2010.

Suggs has started all 20 games thus far in his rookie campaign, averaging 12.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 33.6% from the field.

At 4-18, the Magic currently own the worst record in the league.
