Nope...you would keep both players, having Wood, Mosley, Kelly and another big man would be nice for the Franchise. However, I would rather have Cade.
Cade and KPJ will fit very well. IMHIO Stone will also need to find a Horry type wing in this draft. Kai Jones is the Horry type SF/PF that I would be looking to trade up for.
My top 4 are Cade, Green, Suggs , Mobley. I had high hopes from Evan, but he is too slim and not skilled enough on offense. Suggs has a easier role because he is a PG. Mobley is a 4/5.
At this point in the rebuild, I don't think they should be considering fit. Just highest likelihood of reaching ceiling, aka best player.
Cade fits with just about anybody. This isn't a fair comparison but who would you rather take a chance on reaching their full potential? Cade's game is modeled after Magic's Green's game is modeled after Jordan's I'm not a big fan of Mobley's. Tell me what can Mobley give you that Kai Jones cant in 3 yrs?
Oh I don't think Mobley is BPA. I think he is 5th. I know I'm the exception though. I think Cade and Green are the best players available. I was just saying who fits with KPJ or anyone else on the roster should not be considered for the pick.
Just did a mock draft simulation, Jalen Suggs at 2, Usman Garubal at 22, then Day’ron Sharpe at 24. If I was gambling I couldn’t get way from the table fast enough. This would be amazing.
Mobley, Tate & Khri around Wood and Porter is a fierce switchable defense. Rockets are desperate for improved defense.
I get it if they are trying to hide Wood on defense. Otherwise its two redundant players. Same way I feel about Cade and KPJ. It all comes down to preference in roster building.
They look like the exact same player to me only that Mobley might be better on defense, but that remains to be seen vs NBA players.
Except Wood is a much better outside shooter and Monkey is a much better defender. I wonder if Mobley at his weight is going to be able to bang with the big guys on the NBA?
Like ive said before, i don't buy the 6'5 listing and no way do i buy the 6'6 listings. He's supposedly 6'4 barefoot, and 6'5 in shoes, but i bet he was rounded up in both cases. He's probably in the low 6'4 range at best imo. He's also got a 6'7.5 wingspan which you see on guys 6'2 and 6'3. Kobe had a 6'11 wingspan. Kobe literally was built near identical MJ size except hand size and .5 shorter wingspan. Despite those big size differences, Kobe had a mature and prime MJ to emulate off the court as well and carried himself like a professional even as a teen. Green seems more young Westbrook/Beal body type. 6'3 with 6'8 wingspan. I dont get any of the Kobe or MJ professionalism in his interviews either. It's okay not to be built like MJ and Kobe physically and mentally. Its just too rare to compare. Beal/Morant/Sprewell mold of players are good comparisons for Green imo. Cade on the other hand does give me Grant HIll vibes on and off the court. I'm sitting at 1A Cade, 1B Green
