    I prefer "Lean on Green" over "Suck for Green".

    At least Suggs is apparently out of the picture? Otherwise it'd be something like....Glug...for Suggs....?!?

    I hate it when people base their opinion on stuff the opinion of someone else. I have been high on Green ever since we got that pick because i like his mentality and think that he wants to be great. In my opinion that's just as important as talent.

    I'd personally take him over Cade but that has been my mentality since i have been investing time into researching who Green is.
    But that is my personal opinion and preference and i can certainly see why people like Cade/Mobley

    At least Green has the desire to get better. Unlike another supposed #2 pick.

    I’ll tell you what a Porter/Green backcourt is fun on 2k my league except I had to give up 3 first for the #1 pick

    I think it is. Seems that way, they’re young and excited. You can definitely tell they have chemistry just from that interaction from IG live…

    But how? Hard to see a commitment this early, especially when Detroit can easily just select him #1 — as reports have said.

    I get that feeling too. They seem to be hyping each other up

    The fact that jalen skipped college tells me he might also have the confidence to tell Detroit straight up not to draft him

    I just wonder by Porter telling him not to say too much

    It's a done deal that the Rockets can't lose with this pick.

    Exactly, I'm 51-49 Mobley, it's that close to me. The only reason or rather the main reason I lean Mobley is because he's the more unique prospect whereas Green is projected to be your prototypical SG. Mobley...no one really knows, he's such a unique prospect and if you told me "100% both of these guys will reach their ceiling" then I'd pick Mobley because you're not going to have many drafts with a guy like him.

    That's also why I'd pick Cade first because he's more unique, 6'8 with a handle and might be able to play PG in the NBA? That's more unique.

    But I don't have anything against Green. I'm not even going to blink if we pick him or be upset one bit.

    Just on my personal bigboard... 1.Cade / 2. Mobley / 3. Green

    and I personally believe the tier drops and then you have Suggs, Suggs is the only guy that I'd be a little disappointed to draft unless we traded down and got him and then I'd have to evaluate the trade before I throw a tantrum about it.
