u know the match is getting intense when sugawara gets called off the bench

Yeah he def has really great game sense! It’s especially noticeable in how he’s able to read Seijoh, with him telling Hinata to wait a little on his block due to the timing, switching his block with Tsukishima because he knew they’d aim for him due to his height, aiming for Kyoutani and Iwaizumi so they wouldn’t be able to attack. Season 4 also has a nice little tidbit during the final set against Tsubakihara when Suga acts as pinch server. He’s really good at reading other players, or at the very least, watching them beforehand and being able to tell their play styles. He’s so smart and his intelligence is seriously underrated.
