    I would pick your cat before him.

    6 foot vertical is impressive to me.....that's almost 72 inches (lol)

    West Coast Bias are really working the IG - YouTube channels lately

    just by watching both highlights, Mobley is much more versatile on both ends of the floor, whether he will be on the same bust level, nobody knows.

    Your cat Mobley would definitely look good in a Rockets uniform.

    excellent cat-like quickness......can guard 1-5 positions.

    Also train your cat Mobley to work on not blocking the shot
    into the 3rd row everytime. Just sometimes for intimidation
    psyche ops stuff.

    Like Dillon Brooks says, "fouls are ok, as long as you don't foul out."

    The Rockets have many young and short players! They need tall players to balance out the team!
    The team needs HEIGHT, Youth and GOOD MINDS and TALENT.
    I suggest the following players who will make the difference ,
    #2 MOBLEY, #23 MANN, #24 MAKER.

    #2 - Mobley
    #23 - Murphy
    #24 - Christopher or Primo

    Mobley and Murphy join with Tate, Thomas and Martin to strengthen the D. Christopher provides some offensive punch.

    I like Murphy, but if Jalen Johnson falls to us he has to be the pick IMO.

    JJ has Cade upside as big playmaker but with much better athleticism.

    Also plus rebounder, shot blocker and disruptor (steals, deflections, etc.).

    I'm sure many of you have been bouncing back and forth on who to draft. I know I am. Multiple times a day sometimes. This latest video is a pretty good one at showing you how Jalen could fit here. He's not the on ball guy I believed him to be. He plays really well without the ball:

    (defensive effort is there too)

    This team needs defense. Outside of Tate, Martin, and Wood there's not much...

    Having Mobley and Wood could allow perimeter defenders to be more aggressive.

    When Wood went down and we played 6 weeks without a rim protector we lost every game...

    I think the floor on Mobley is Marcus Camby defensively... we need that now and long term. Gives us insurance not to overpay Wood in 2 years...

    Yep I’m sold on the awareness and IQ both offensively and defensively.

    Making the right read
    Making the right decision
    Doing all the little things executing the finer details of the game

    Gotta love it
