    Brooklyn lost because Kyrie was out and Harden was playing on one leg. If those guys ate healthy that series is over early.

    Agreed. Hopefully they don't pass on him and take Mobley instead.

    More ridiculous than assuming that a player will learn to shoot just because he's 19?

    You're putting forward the idea that Cleveland is so desperate to get rid of the Kevin Love contract that they would trade the 3rd pick and take back Wood & Gordon??

    My first thought is that you are insane. Then as I think about it more, I can see that you may have a point lol So for this to work, Cleveland has to stratosphere high on Wood and not especially love anyone that could possibly fall to them at 3. I don't know, but if (and it's a big IF) we could get Green and Mobley, sign me up for season tickets for the next 5 years coach.

    Scottie Barnes strikes me as a similar prospect to Mobley in the sense that he’s all defense and limited offensively but is unique in that he can in a way play PG. he’s more similar to Ben Simmons in that way I guess.

    but I’d never think about taking him 2. Sure Mobley has more potential in developing a shot and it doesn’t matter as much if he can’t shoot from the outside as a big… but still

    I’m not passing on Green. No way no how. This kid is legit.

    LOL you say so..... but if you can't stop Middleton or Giannis they were never going to win. It starts with D. I don't want to here could of, should of, would of. It's lame. If he was hurt he should have never played. If he won he would want credit for playing so take credit for the sub par lose too.

    Mobley's footwork on perimeter defense is the only thing that keeps me interested in him. He doesn't even look like a big when he guards the perimeter. So fluid. But I don't think it's worth passing up Jalen Green or Cade Cunningham. If I'm picking third and Green and Cade are gone, I think I prefer Suggs and his high floor over Mobley too.

    What better time to learn? LOL you sound basic. That's what kids at 19 do in the NBA. Not every player comes in with a shot. Those willing to work often improve. If he has an attitude anything like Harden or Simmons then you stay far away. Nothing is giving.

    Lol. Durant, Harden, and Kyrie would have lit up the Bucks and the rest of this field.

    You are a ****ing moron. The dude had a TS% of .624 and eFG% of .595 in his 1st year of college. Those numbers do not equate to a poor shooter.

    Mobley looks like Bagley plus shot blocking and mildly better passing.

    His ceiling may be Bosh 2.0, but it’s a crap shoot with talent this raw.

    Suggs>Mobley>Green

    Maybe one day they will. lol They didn't though. We can only assume. They would have lit up but what about stopping the other team. You have to do that to win, no matter who is on the floor.
