Thank you. Mobley could be scoring 0 and he still would be the best rookie right now. I literally don't care how many 'easy' shots he gets due to the Cavs' guards. He is all-NBA defensive level right now, with even some arguments for DPOY. Any offense on top of his defense is just gravy. Last night, he accrued 0 fouls defending Davis/LeBron for the game. A rookie big defending at an elite level without fouling. Our golden boy Sengun can't stay on the court due to foul issues.
This thread is about y we didn't pick Mobley over green y u slandering Sengun? Wtf he do 2 u? Plus at the place he was draft it was a steal.
I think that argument implies that he can’t defend centers in the nba and I think he can, and then also defend 1-4. We will have to see though when/if he’s actually in a position to defend/play center. If he does well it could mean that having to defend 1-4 is actually less ideal for him even though he’s doing well at it.
So now the board narrative is that KPJ is a terrible PG? I don't think he is that great but certainly not terrible makes me think a lot of this is coming from the Green stan's
Well, this is certainly a hot take. You have nothing to actually back this up but at least you laid down a marker, whatever that gets you. I love Mobley but he ain't Luka level and I am not a Luka stan.
Bosh could have been a great 2nd banana he just happened to be on a team with 2 all time greats. There is no guarantee that Lavine would be a great 2nd banana it takes more than being a volume scorer. I don't really disagree with any of this but the Bosh slander must cease. Lavinne at this point should never be in the same sentence as Bosh.
LOL What a BS retro-narrative. I can count on 1 hand all the posters who jockeyed for Scottie Barnes being best player in draft. And you were NOT one of them.
Agree with everything except the draft picks being altered if Mobley picked. Rockets cannot afford to NOT draft rhe BEST players regardless of position. And this draft was incredibly deep in talent. If Rockets take Jalen Johnson instead of Sengun, I'd be sad because he was a pet cat but just as excited for obvious reasons. Were still a lot of great options at 16. Heck, that was the case even at 23 and 24.
You're just speculating. You cannot honestly say this with any degree of certainty. Mobley would be one of the best playmakers on the Rockets, day one.
LOL Zero fouls and turnovers. Yeah, he'd look horrible on the Rockets. Just stop with the silliness. Rockets offense without Green is FINE. The Rockets struggle on overall DEFENSE and REBOUNDING and ASSISTS and RIM PROTECTION and SWITCHING and FTA and FTM and offensive EFFICIENCY. All areas that Mobley excels at.
Then you shouldn't have listened to THOSE scouts. I said both Mobley and Barnes were the best players in this draft. And Clutch said same about Mobley. It's not about picking sides, it's about trusting the RIGHT people.
Rockets offense without Green is better than it is with him. Only Garuba and Christopher are less efficient scorers than Green in the entire team.
Not just that but as I've said he has Giant arms and hands! Gynormous! Huge! Like 7'4 wingspan. It is soooooo much easier to pass to him! Would make KPJ's life so much easier right now. Stumpy Arms Green should be a 6th man right now! We all know it deep down.
Lol did I ever say I was jockeying for Barnes for pre draft? I’m stating my opinion as of today. Go back and shill for Simmons and Aaron 2&D Gordon….
Wonder if we didn’t have Wood, maybe Stone would’ve looked at Mobley as the #2? This is going to be torture coming into this thread every day after a Cav or Rockets game lmao. Can’t dissect every game on both of them forever.
You would have to have a coach to run this. You can say would have we are not the Cavs lol He didnt just think to do that on his own.
Still not sold on Mobley. People here always like to overrate the other players if they arent on the Rockets. One poster even made the dumbass claim Mobley could be scoring 0 pts and he's be the best rookie just cuz of his D???? Yeah right thats how you know the reverse homerism is in full effect. Since when did PJ Tucker and Trevor Ariza make the max? You dont spend the no 2 pick on a purely defensive player, in the same way people here are mad at Green's bad D. If you're gonna talk about Scottie Barnes, yeah ok I was calling him baby Giannis prior to the draft. He is the best player on this draft class and you can make the argument he should have been no 2. The questions for Mobley remain the same, ie can he put on weight successfully and will he stave of injury. His offense has been bad, just 1 3 pt a game, low conversion rate in the paint and really low no of fts as well. On defense he has seen success guarding the perimeter due to his quickness but has been shown to get owned by real front courts due to his low weight.
