NCAA Basketball Recruiting: Analyzing 2020 McDonald’s All-Americans

Jalen Suggs (Gonzaga)

CG | 6-foot-5 | 200 lbs | No. 8 overall recruit

A star football player as well as an elite basketball prospect, Jalen Suggs is simply a flat-out incredible athlete. There is no better way to put it. With regard to what he brings to the basketball court, in particular, he is a high-level guard at 6-foot-5 with exceptional scoring ability. He brings a well-built frame to the table and can aggressively attack the basket and play through traffic. Suggs finishes at a high rate and has no trouble burying open jumpers as well. With his height and court vision, Suggs can also run the offense for long stretches as a point guard.

He is currently committed to play for Gonzaga. The Bulldogs have been remarkably successful under head coach Mark Few for the past several years but they are still looking to finish off a season as national champions. Suggs will likely only spend one season in Spokane but he could be one of the pieces to help push the team to cut down the final nets.

B.J. Boston (Kentucky)

SG | 6-foot-6 | 175 lbs | No. 7 overall recruit

B.J. Boston is a lengthy 6-foot-6 wing that should immediately emerge as one of the stars for Kentucky next season. Although he brings a rather thin frame to the table, he uses his impressive wingspan and height to be a dynamite scorer at all three levels. He can shoot over the majority of defenders and is quite quick off the bounce as well. Boston excelled alongside Sharife Cooper on the Nike EYBL circuit and he will be playing next to similarly talented lead guard in Lexington.

Boston uses his size and athleticism to be a strong defender on the wing and he rebounds tremendously well for his position. He will be one of the best scoring options for Kentucky as a freshman before taking his talents to the next level. Boston is about as fluid as they come for an incoming first-year collegiate player.
