    Mobley will have the biggest impact. His offensive game, at the moment, doesn't blow you away, but his offensive game and his defensive awareness and physical ability gives him a very high floor.

    Teams with elite defenses always have a shot, and that starts with rim protection and shot blocking.

    His ability to guard the perimeter is a bonus.

    And, he's a team player.

    Him and Wood would be easy to build around.

    i still go with Cade (who also was very solid defensively) but it is impressive how Mobley is making it closer.

    as much as I sometimes just see a taller Wendell Carter... Mobley’s also possibly a Gobert... that can also guard at a high level on the perimeter... that is also more talented offensively... and that’s great.

    but still Cade for me.

    One (one!) good thing the Rox have in their favor is that both Porter and Wood can be paired with any number of other players:

    mobile big like Mobley? ok
    ball handling point/small forward like Cade? ok
    scoring guard like Green? ok
    traditional pg like Suggs? ok

    Yeah, I'm still sold on the top-4 pick, sue me.

    Is Ayayi a legit first rounder?

    Reminds me of Tate and Nwaba's mentality, does a little bit of everything important to winning games.

    I keep hearing Grant Hill comps for Cade.
    Kuminga reminds me of a young Iggy.

    I'm back on the cade train.

    He's pretty much got all the tools except elite speed and quickness.

    I think cade can be a true franchise guy.

    Cade should and will be #1 for whoever’s lucky enough to get that pick.

    I don't see the comparison other than height ..... Grant was an explosive athlete along with a great basketball talent. I don't see that explosiveness with Cade.

    Green has that type of explosiveness ..... but not the size of Grant.


    On Mobley - I wonder if he can play on the wing in the NBA like KD and Giannis ? ... he's so light in the ass , can't see him in the post.

    Mobley needs to improve his jumper. That will take a lot of hard work and time.
