    @D-rock @dmoneybangbang

    yeah I think Mobley is clearly in a tier above Suggs, Kuminga and others.

    I have

    Cade > Green > Mobley >>> The rest

    the upside on Mobley is intriguing as f. He COULD be Gobert defensively while closer to AD offensively. But he also could just be a taller Jaren Jackson Jr even if the brain is different... which btw is still super solid but idk.

    I’ll say this much... it’d have to be a heck of an offer. I actually am intrigued by the pairing of Wood and Mobley given both can stretch the floor and Mobley can cover up defensively where Wood struggles.

    but it’s 2021. A team with Wood/Mobley as your two best players maybe gets you to the second round. Maybe. We’d still depend on KPJ progressing a ton.

    if you redrafted 2019 who would you take first - Zion or Ja?

    I would have taken Ja Morant and I said as much back then.

    I could be talked into Mobley at #3, I just think he will be more of a project. He could be perpetually injured like Johnathan Isaac or JJ Jr..... or could be a legit two way unicorn.

    I would still take Zion over Ja. Zion has been put in a markedly worse situation, while Ja fits right into grit and grind.

    Another good argument for Green at #1.

    I'm just so happy right now to be in the position to get a potential future star right away. In a few weeks, we will be either the most depressed fanbase in history or we'll be super excited. Obviously 4 isn't that sexy, but i really think Suggs there will be nice too. I'll be happy with whichever spot as long as we actually get it.

    I got a bad feeling there’s going to be a lot of disappointed people in this thread. I’d love to be wrong for once.

    I hope you mean only if we drop out of the top 4 and lose the pick. Or are you also suggesting the top 4 are also busts so we'll be disappointed in any case?

    Suggs is a solid pick, but the Rockets need more than solid.

    I've pegged Cade/Green 1a and 1b before. I'm sticking to that.
    Can't go wrong with either.

    Thanks for the video

    When can teams start working out players individually?
