    Yes, sure there is the possibility.
    Cade is pretty much considered to be #1 by almost everyone but maybe the Pistons like Kuminga or whoever better and get him. Always possible.

    Not really. Jalen is a nice guy and won't worry if he motivates KPJ. Suggs and Cade can do that

    Mobley means Kelly o most likely gone, right? He isn’t coming off the bench and Mobley most likely going to start at some point.

    Mobley and Green so close, I can’t call it. Mobley gives off scary stromile swift vibes though.

    I agree I'm not taking a center who can't shoot with this pick. Not a chance.

    Mobley. Too much talent across the board. just needs leadership and strength. Everything else is there.

    I'm good with the 2nd pick. We could be here talking about having the 18th pick instead. So I'm happy.

    I agree that bigs are useful, but the league is run by perimeter players. Even if Mobley reaches his ceiling, the Rockets would need 2 more perimeter stars to really have a chance.

    I think Mobley isn't a stiff and has a bit of an outside shot and can put the ball on the floor, defensively he's great though...

    I'm more scared of drafting players whose stock jumped because of playing in a g-league bubble. We already saw some players played way above their head in a bubble environment...
