    Got a feeling Mobley is going to be a bust.

    Until the balls are pulled our balls shall remain in suspended animation.

    When they land where they belong our balls will be nada but net.

    Thus, let’s netmug that lotto call. A d for good measure may OKC fall.

    The Rockets' Tank Delegation accepts.

    I mean it'll probably happen. Rockets aren't getting any of these players, OKC will create a dynasty thanks to the Westbrook trade.

    He is a tall lean 4. He doesn't play like AD or KG. His defense is good, his offense is limited. A better Rudy Gobert at best with some play making.

    I also think Green is the star of this draft.

    Which is a more defensible position than Mobley being first or second. Green is too one dimensional to be #1 and I don't see Durant level ability there.

    C'mon, it's not just that he's tall. The guy averaged 16/9 with 3 blocks and a steal as the centerpiece of one of the better defenses in the nation. He also led the NCAA in +/- on the season. As a freshman. I'm not as bullish on Mobley as some (a. I think cade is the better, safer prospect but also b. Big men rely on good guard play which isn't necessarily a given) but the guy's ceiling is as high as anybody.
