    I think you misunderstood me. I'm not saying he will be a 20pt ppg scorer immediately but he will become one. So trade for one now and draft Mobley or draft Green and wait for him to develop into that scorer.

    Bro you literally typed what you typed, I read what you typed and replied to it.

    This is what you typed...
    "If you want to see players go up against NBA level physicality, speed, and play under NBA rules.... well...."

    You even BOLDED that as if to emphasize it. You typed that. Not me. I replied to what you typed, I didn't misread anything.

    As for the rest of your point, you seem ignorant of the gleague, not me. I understand no one should be making NBA projections based off of Gleague stats.

    And I made a small mistake by leaving out “closer” which I’ve literally wrote every other time…. Had you actually been comprehending what I keep writing over and over and over again you wouldn’t have jumped on it.

    Clearly you aren’t comprehending and just trying to play gotcha. It’s not debatable and I’m done making the same point over and over.

    Nope….

    That’s just you and BobbytheGreat…. Not exactly great company to be lumped in with. Good luck with that.

    And what did I say to your mistake?

    YET your next response was that was to continue to claim I didn't comprehend what you wrote, when I did. You made the mistake here, not me, I said cool, whatever, but instead of letting it be you're still trying to act like I made the mistake when I replied to what you wrote.

    You left out a crucial word, admitted your mistake, I accepted that. Should have been the end of it, instead you then shifted to act like I couldn't read or was being dishonest when it was the exact opposite.

    I can't read your mind over the internet especially when the entire time you've been putting more into gleague stats I just assumed you meant what you said, which any reasonable person does.

    I guess it's just more snide remarks then...

    I'd say it's more than just me and BTG too but whatever, if you guys think gleague stats mean so much more than college stats have at it.

    EDIT: And I have no issue agreeing with BTG, I don't see how that in itself makes me wrong. Holding your own beliefs means sometimes you'll agree with people and sometimes you'll disagree with them...you don't just auto-disagree with someone just because they disagree with you on other topics. That's lame.

    Kid, either me or Jay are amazing company that anyone should hope to be lucky enough to be "lumped in with"

    Your hype for the g league does not stand up to scrutiny and the only reason you are doing it is to try and hype Green because 16 games in the g league where he did as well as Kenyon Martin Jr is all you have to go on.

    The issue is I have the same point as I did like 15 replies ago. It feels like if you had actually tried to understand instead of being so reactionary to something you didn’t like then you’d have a different reaction.

    Having someone constantly twist and change your argument is lame.

    Lol “my hype”. You and Jay need to constantly use hyperbole and twisting arguments.

    Son, you are lucky to still be posting under your profile with your past behavior…..

    Nonsense, both statements.

    You keep calling statements of fact "hyperbole" which just shows the level of cognitive bias you are facing.

    When called out on this, you lash out, but you know you've got nothing to actually defend your position with.

    Scoring 18 points per game in 15 G League games is not impressive when you look at the level of competition and compare that performance to others in the G League....he was barely a top 30 scorer last season alone....and scoring is pretty much all he does right now

    And looking at the competition in the PAC12 is not very impressive and especially when USC (through no fault of their own) SOS is one of the weaker among top 25 schools. Pray tell.... what does playing a weak schedule and weaker competition tell us?

    And yes. I remember what you did to get banned.

    The competition in college is superior to the glorified rec league games in the G league, especially in the tournament and colleges do more to develop players than a 15 game g league season.

    Keep winning about me saying a mean thing years ago though, I'm sure someone cares or will at least pretend to.

    Kobe is a bad comparison. He was 18 straight out of high school and coming off the bench. He averaged 20 the first year he got to start.

    If Green starts and plays heavy minutes he can be a 20ppg player next season. There is a rookie that averages 20+ almost every year. Zion, Luka, Mitchell, and Embiid all averaged 20+ as rookies and Edwards averaged 19 this year.

    If you want to argue that the NCAA plays more "winning bball with stakes" then I wouldn't argue. However, the G League would stomp the Pac12 because the overall players that make up the G League are better.

    LOL. More like you had whine and beg to get reinstated. And people still remember which is why you get such s chilly reception.

    Keep rewriting history and clutching pearls kid, obviously you don't know what you are talking about but maybe you can convince yourself if you try hard enough. You know you can't defend your laughable take on the G league, so that's probably your best bet.

    Look, I have sympathy for you, the desire to push a narrative is overwhelming your sense of reason. It happens. You saw a flashy highlight reel and that was enough for you. It happens to a lot of people this time every year. I'm not going to hold that against you, but you are really coming across desperate here.

    Every good team in the playoffs has a defensive anchor. We don't have one and probably will draft Green over Mobley.

    I think we should try to flip Wood for the #3 pick by trading him to the Warriors for Wiseman + #7 then flipping it with more picks for #3. Warriors are trying to win now and Wood would be a good fit alongside Draymond who can cover for his defensive weakness.


    Or I guess we can pray we get another lotto next year which is likely to happen and draft a versatile big but Mobley has a good chance to become the next AD.

    There we go.... you are done arguing about the PAC12 and G League.

    I'm glad you conceded, now run along.....

    Green will be a 20ppg player by the end of the season.

    We aren't making the playoffs for several years so we have time find one with the multitude of our draft picks and cap space.

    If Rockets decide on Mobley then we a potential anchor. However, we shouldn't be drafting based on need when we don't have a single untouchable player on the team.
