Suton is the latest Spartan player to move to the bench

Goran Suton is returning to MSU Basketball as a graduate assistant for the 2025-2026 season, as reported by Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press.

Suton played at Michigan State from 2004-2005 through the 2008-2009 season and was a member of the 2009 Final Four team. Suton played a key role during that tournament run, holding USC’s Taj Wilson to just three points and then scoring 19 against Louisville to help MSU advance to the tournament championship game in Detroit. Suton earned second team All Big Ten and first team All NCAA Tournament honors in 2009 in addition to being named the Midwest Regional’s most outstanding player.

He is one of just eight MSU players with over 1000 points and 800 rebounds, averaging 8.1 and 6.6, respectively, during his college career.

After MSU, Suton was selected in the second round by the Utah Jazz but never played in the NBA. Instead, he enjoyed a 10 year career overseas with stints in Russia, Italy, Spain, and Croatia.

Suton was born near Sarajevo in the former Bosnia and Herzegovina and became a naturalized US citizen in 2006.

He joins former Spartan players Thomas Kelley, Austin Thornton (Suton’s former teammate), and Dr. Lorenzo Guess on Tom Izzo’s staff.
