Brief Interview with Husky Guard, Scott Suggs

I was lucky enough to catch up with Scott Suggs at UW’s Media Day recently. In the time since I first interviewed Suggs, he’s mentioned to Percy Allen that he considered transferring, and some have conjectured (as we have) that it’s going to be very tough for Scott to crack Lorenzo Romar’s nine- or ten-man rotation this season with so much Husky depth on the perimeter.

Here’s our brief discussion:

Montlake Madness: So, how much pressure do you feel to jump right in and break into that rotation and prove to yourself, prove to the coaches, teammates and fans early on that you’re going to be in the plan? That you’re going to play minutes for this team?

Scott Suggs: You know, I’d say it’s a big thing that obviously I had to work at from last year, and it’s just something that I worked real hard on all summer. I still continue to go into practice playing aggressively, doing what I know I can do and showing them what I can do to help this team out, and just making the coaches notice me really.

Montlake Madness: Where do you fit in to be most successful? Do you see yourself out there with two smaller guys? Or, one smaller guy? What’s the spot where you feel like you can really succeed?

Scott Suggs: It’s hard to say, really, ’cause… I guess we’ve got… everybody on this team can make plays. But, just anywhere where I can really just get the rock and just try to get to the lane and create plays. So, whatever kind of lineup that’s suited to that is really up to Coach Romar.

Thanks for coming!
