Jalen Suggs (14.3 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 4.5 APG, 2.0 SPG) is a projected top-five pick, and he can be the best player on the floor whenever he wants to be.

And Florida transfer Andrew Nembhard leads a strong collection of reserves who have helped this team beat Power 5 opponents such as Kansas, West Virginia, Virginia and Iowa.
