    I think my biggest issue with Green is that we just saw him get thoroughly outplayed by KPJ just a few months ago. I see the upside for sure, but remembering those games is why I think I'd lean towards Mobley as of right now.

    Sorry about spamming posts with videos; but I really like the scouting breakdowns on all the prospects instead of just highlights

    Gotta go Green.. Makes more sense for today's NBA... You need scorers that can create their own shot

    This is just a false narrative. Watch full game tape. This kid has ELITE hesitation moves, understands how to create space off the dribble, his step back shot is elite, he has a nice turnaround jumpshot… this kid has all the tools it’s just a matter of putting it all together. He’s not just a great athlete.

    Take the best basketball player, not the best fit. I think J.Green is similar to KPJ, they want to prove they belong. At best, Mobley is another Ayton, but C.Payne and D.Booker is why the Suns are on the verge of the Finals. I rather have KPJ even though Suggs has built-tough mentality. It would be a moot point if our owner don't want to pay the #2 pick and trades out of the pick for lower picks LOL

    He will make what Edwards did look like child's play.

    Jalen Green's scouting report comparison is Zach Levine. I think that's dead-on accurate. Elite athleticism, scorer 1st mentality, but does he have the all-around game, including defense, passing, leadership, competitive fire to elevate his teammates to postseason success?

    Take note: Zach Levine has never played on a winning NBA basketball team.

    Suggs is the leader we need.

    I think there is a remote chance that they will choose another player instead of Cade.
