    I think Stone should experiment and draft Mobley at #2 and sign Nerlens Noel this summer as a free agent. Noel at the 5 for his defensive presence, Wood at the 4 and Mobley at the 3. Talk about forming a wall.

    What??? We do not want our best two players on our team to be in the front court. To close games out or to win a buzz beater you will need a talented guard to be a great team....just ask Philly.....

    I don't think Philly is the best example to drive your point home....

    No......Mobley cannot shoot....only shot he has is a jump hook.....Mobley is just a defensive guy right now who score by rebounds and a right handed jump hook, who is always being pushed around by big guys,,,,watch the Oregon vs USC tape

    The tape suggests otherwise.

    This is not true at all. He shot 52% from 17 feet to the arch. He has a really nice mid-range game and, while he only shot 30% from 3, his form is solid.

    Thank you. Like I said, let's roll Mobley out at the 3 alongside Wood and Noel and break the small ball monotony :)

    https://www.espn.com/nba/draft/bestavailable would suggest he doesn't make it to 23/24.

    Mobley is likely a difference maker right away because he's not a defensive liability. Even if Kai Jones were 90% of Mobley's potential on offense would he even get to play?

    The check marks Mobley presents the Rockets are insane. How rare to be in position to get a guy who is BPA and fills so many team needs too? I mean from a roster with 70 million tied up in 3 guards who aren't Porter... adding another guard with only ONE injury prone Center on the team currently is just nonsense. Mobley is like mana from basketball heaven, just floating down right into the starting lineup.

    Draft Jalen Green and give Zhou Qi another chance...he has the same body type and play style as Mobley.

    Have you watch USC games this year??? Watch what Gonzaga did to him he was passive and was being pushed around by their BIG men, His brother played better than him sometime. Some analyst said, "They are going to need Mosley because if Wood get hurt again in the season, Mosley would take up the gap....WHAT!!!! Mobley will score 12 to 14 points a game if possible. Christian Wood if John Wall is gone will score 25 points a game 11 rebounds. He is only 215 pounds soaking wet.....he is too small with no offense game

    During free agency, we sign Noel from the Knicks....we will be fine
    I say draft Green who will average 18 points a game and then move up from 23 and take Usman Garuba!! He is 6'8 but have a 7'2 Wingspan. Look!! He weight 228 pounds a banger, leaping ability and very athletic to guard 1-5 position.

    During free agency, we sign Noel from the Knicks....we will be fine

    I like Suggs the most.

    Only skimmed the videos.

    Green seems like a dime a dozen talented scorer who has a narrow view of basketball

    Mobley seems like a gifted rim runner aka dime a dozen

    Suggs is the most unique and seemingly onto something special but raw with a bad wingspan

    Eh non clear superstar between these 3.

    best player is probably not protected as a #1 guy

    probably a guy around pick 10 or something

    What I really like is that we won’t blow the pick as long as we stay in the top 3 or 4.

    You have to be a troll.

    No one can take you seriously with this stupidity.
