    I don't think we even know what a Silas system is. From being hired last minute, to Covid timeline crunch that limited training camp and practice sessions to a complete overhaul of the roster with the franchise player leaving with a wake of a mess, to massive amounts of injuries to guys like Wood, a roster full of players not part of the long term future like Olidipo, there really was no time or opputuinity for Silas to implement a long term system.

    This is the year though. With the picks, Silas should know the general core of the rebuild after the draft and understand what system best suits the core and implement it during a actual full training camp. This season is going to be a lot less hectic for Silas. He's definitely getting graded this season. This is a more important season for understanding what type of coach he is than last season.

    That's the thing. Mobley is neither. There are complaints about him not being able to assert himself. He disappears a lot in games and doesn't demand the ball.

    A modern star big has to assert themselves amongst their teammates due to how guard oriented the modern NBA is. If you don't speak up, and establish position, you are going to disappear in games.

    How many 18-19 year olds play in the gleague?

    Usually people that age are playing college ball.

    I'm willing to give Silas two more years actually. Some of his adjustments drove me crazy and at times it frustrated me how much he wanted to use his veterans but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

    At the end of the day, he actually helped develop both Jaesean and KJ. He helped keep KPJ motivated to play. Found life in Olynyk. Had Nwaba playing with great intensity.

    If we could only get rid of Wall and EG so those two guys would not be a crutch toward allowing us to develop the younger players, I'd be a happy man.

    Last year there were glimpses of how awesome Silas system can be. Hopefully a full training camp will help iron out the kinks. As much as I hate giving money to Fertitta, I am actually contemplating buying me half season tickets again because I am excited about the development of our young players.

    Talk about being an ass.

    Stop acting like you know shet. Mobley is very communicative and assertive on defense.

    Leave it to you to spread false information.

    Again.

    Didn't Curry have one of the most dominant offensive seasons in NBA history?

    Being assertive on defense is different than being assertive on offense.

    This is the number two pick. This team doesn't have a go to potential offensive superstar (KPJ is a stretch for that desire).

    Mobley is no where near confident in his offensive game as Green is.

    This team needs a offensive centerpiece first and foremost.

    And nothing I said about Mobley has anything to do with quality of human he is unlike the other guy saying Green is immature. Mobley isn't immature and I wouldn't say something like that for someone I don't know.

    If this team already had an established young potential offensive superstar, Mobley would be my pick. We don't have that yet.

    But what you said was blatantly false.

    Just because Mobley is reserved doesn't make him less assertive on the court, especially on defense where he is not only a plus player but a leader..

    Its shitty analysis but that is no surprise. Its the same old same old from you.

    Are you saying that Mobley at his current place is a offensively assertive player at least relative to Green?

    I'm team Green, but to be fair, AD disappeared in more college games than Mobley. AD had 8 games under 10 pts, while Mobley had only 2.

    Typically kids who are too dumb or not good enough for college or overseas are the only ones who end up in the G league at that age. Even then, given the complete lack of talent in the G league, if he really was as good as many are trying to say, he should have looked like a top player in that glorified rec league.

    Nah you are the one here who has no clue what you are talking about.

    You're asking for a game changer what the hell do you think a unicorn is supposed to be? Brook Lopez was never seen as a unicorn that's because unlike Mobley he isn't 7'0 with 7'5 wingspan. You don't think Brook Lopez with length, athleticism and defense isn't a game changer?

    Ayton's only averaging 14 and 10 oh man I guess he sucks right? Suns wish they got Bagley right now LMAO.

    Jalen Green is the top rated SG in this draft but there's no guarantee he will be the best. It could be Tre Mann, Cam Johnson, Moody, Boughknight etc. There's only dude here who is a unicorn and that's Mobley. There's nobody who is like him in the entire draft JT Thor is a close second but he is only 6'8 and much thinner than Mobley. Rawer too. If you want the more stable, bust proof rookie then that's Green. If you want a game changer like you are claiming then it's Mobley. Why the hell you think he is rated No 2 in majority of mocks? For kicks? Gimme a break....

    Dude you have a serious misunderstanding of the gleague.

    Good COLLEGE players who aren't quite good enough to make the NBA yet go to the Gleague. High School players go to college. Green was from high school dude.

    Green at worst faced good college level players in the gleague. A guy like Mobley at worst played against bad college players at college.

    Not only that but when we see his three point percentage we know it's from NBA range.

    D1 has a selection filter of only good high school ballers and above. Gleague has a selection filter of only good college players and above.

    Bad D1 ball players doesn't go to the Gleague. They go into whatever their college major was of choice....as in they don't play ball anymore. Maybe they coach high school.

    Mobley faced guys who will never play ball again at a competitive level in a year because they suck and don't see basketball as their bread maker.

    GLeague players on the whole are more talented than the kids in college. They are more experienced and they are real men unlike boys in college. You won't find scrawny ass white kids in the GLeague you will find 25-30 yr olds playing desperately for a call up. You won't find a Cade Cunningham in GLeague but Cade's just 1 dude Green doesn't play against him every game in the NCAA.

    I can go either way but chances are Green's stats would inflate by a lot if he went to NCAA over GLeague. That's part of the reason I'm actually waffling on Green cuz if he went to NCAA people would prob be calling him the next MJ by now and make him a lock for No 1. He went up against better competition that's just a fact.

    Yeah with the help of like 4 other All Stars. Even then he was never seen as dominating the NBA it was his posse as a whole that was dominating the league not Curry. In fact lebron staged one of the best comeback ever and punked his ass, the next time they met Curry had already added KD who was undisputedly the best player on that squad.
