If Francis is like Isiah, Mobley will be exploited

With a Tall SF finally, Mobley can no longer be guarded by the opps best SG/SF defender. No more Sprewell's with significant height advantage guarding that cat with the loooong arms and lightning speed and fiery heart of a champion. Mobley will draw the poor SG every night (generally a guy like him who is not paid as a defensive specialist). Mobley is looking to have easier assignments this year over last year, now that Eddie must always draw the SF assignment.

Rudy and Francis should look to exploit Mobley more, and in new ways. The success of Isiah grew with him exploiting Dumars to make his own game (and the TEAM game) easier. This offense is triggered by the guards, and Mobley is yet to be exploited as a weakside threat to get the Francis strongside game cranking with the big men.

Make them fear Mobley even more as a roving weakside threat to go with his playmaking and everything will be easier for Francis and the PFs. Stop putting Mobley in the far corner Rudy, just to get Shandon Jefferson involved...*ugh*.
