Why it needs to be Mobley...

Draft Mobley. Highest upside possible, which is what this team needs.

 

Every time i read "modern day" twin towers it confirms that person has absolutely no clue what they’re talking about. Drafting Mobley will get Stone fired. I like Stone too. But there are just too many risk drafting a center, especially one who's body isnt fully déveloped. Playing 2 skinny bigs in 2021 will be atrocious

 

I'm most intrigued by his defensive potential. Be nice if we could grab a defensive anchor who won't weigh us down offensively. Our defense was so bad last year that winning was almost impossible. If they think Mobley can change that, I hope they get him.

 

If he drafts Mobley, he better be Bosh 2.0 right away or he'll be roasted.

 

Love the kids versatility but there are two guys with potentially as good perimeter defense and rim protection abilities in this draft. Garuba and Sims are every bit as great defensively as Mobley on tape.

 

I disagree with last point. Adding Mobley actually allows Wood to stay at the 5.

At least until Mobley adds more muscle.

 

Agree there are top 3 and then a drop off but don't see Mobley as a wing at all. He moves like a big man only faster. Not made for the perimeter even if he can survive out there. IMHO.

 

Absolutely agreed

If there is a killer Alpha in Green like Kobe & MJ I'm all in
That's the only way a slashing 2guard wins rings as A or B

If not, Mobley doesn't need to become a killer to win
AD, KG types that willingly do the dirty work are more rare than volume scorers

 

Will just have to wait and see won't we?

 

Interesting take, my thought was "Mobley looks soft as hell in comparison to Thabeet, why are people wanting to draft this kid again?"

 

The bump in wins we receive will be minimal. Centers in the NBA will tear through them like paper

 

I wish there was a breakdown video of how Silas will use Mobley in his offense

 

There is somebody posted it on here from Twitter.

Basically how he used KO.

 

tanking is pathetic and extremely low chance game... basically you are buying a lottery ticket by losing games on purpose for years hoping some young scrub gonna become superstar one day(and they rarely do) and even if he does, it doesnt guarantee nothing, he may be hurt or leave you or have difficulty finding costars or is not being favored by the refs etc etc

basketball is a skill game and you make it into a game of chance lololololol

 

Why are you just complaining about tanking in multiple threads? What's your end game here? The time to debate whether tanking was the way to go has long passed. The Rockets were a terrible basketball team last season, and they didn't need to tank to be one.

Houston needs young talent, period. What's the alternative? Trading this pick for a subpar superstar and winning 35 games next year with John Wall scoring 20 points a night on 19 shots? Thanks, but I'll pass.
