    Yup, you're right. Just one game. I'm just sick of the Green doubters, especially since Mobley has played well in previous games.

    It’s irritating that this Green vs Mobley debate is even happening.

    Annoying people who want to take victory laps 5 games into a season.

    Mobley just finished the game with 2 points btw and Cade was straight up awful. You won’t find out who is better for a while!

    Green is only 19 (youngest in the top 5)
    Let’s relax with all this

    Literally didnt move any goal posts. Do you even know what we are talking about? Go reread the conversation. Regardless what he was WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HIM NOW. I dont know what he was or whether he had guards then or not it really doesnt matter. How is what he was as a trojan relevant to this conversation who cares. He could have been Olajuwan in college hell maybe he MIGHT be close to that in the future. Thats not how he is getting his points NOW.

    Exactly and Mobley is averaging exactly 1 point more than Jalen lol In a system that is set up for him to easily score near the basket.

    59% TS from a dude who only lays up and dunks? Thats really bad Ben Simmons has 58%TS last year does anybody say he is a great scorer? 4 fta from a dude who just layups and dunks is also really bad, Mobley has been hitting fts at 80% which is great but with his low attempts that isnt maximized. Green has low ftas as well but he plays outside so much that can be forgiven. He takes 7 threes or 6x more than Mobley.

    8 rebs all those are are defensive rebs, you lnow, the freebies? Mobley only gets 1 offensive reb a game those are the real rebounds. When your teammates clank the ball chances are you'll get that reb. But when your opponents clank the ball and you get thats when you know you are a good rebounder.

    Low weight is BS? Ok so why Mobley only have 2 pt and 4 rebs tonight? Meanwhile Ayton had 17 and 12.

    Your analysis is surface level bad. You either just gloss up info to fit your agenda or u just that dumb.

    Exactly.

    Green has also struggled which is surprising to me but people are acting like Mobley has been Olajuwon which is a huge ass joke. The only person who is proving he should have been taken over Green in this draft is Barnes.

    If Mobley isnt defending well what else does he do?

    2 pts and 4 rebs? Really?

    Long term its much easier for Green to develop his defense and become an all star guard than it is for Mobley to develop his offense and become an all star big man. It COULD happen, but the chances are way too low.

    Mobley averages as many points as Green.

    And his offensive game was supposed to be his weakness.

    And if the bounty of Cavs playmakers are WHOLLY responsible for a rook averaging 15 PPG then why isnt a proven vet like JA only averaging 13?

    Your argument is circular and based on a faulty premise.

    LOL

    Conveniently leave out his 4 AST amirite?

    And this is Mobley's only game with negative box +/-.

    ONE game.

    Roslolian continuing to do roslolian things.

    Here's the thing. With the new Rules, Defense has become very important again. A shot Blocker has become so important! Thibs has become relevant again.

    Yeah. If Mobley came to Houston he’d be averaging like 9/7 because we have no point guards. He also has two 7 footers backing him up on defense.

    I’d rather have a star scoring wing first and then find a rim protector later. AD in his prime couldn’t even carry Pelicans to the playoffs consistently. Embiid hasn’t made the conference finals. KAT has been to the playoff once. It’s a guards league

    Sengun had 4 assists in only 19 minutes. Nothing new

    It’s too bad we couldn’t move Brooklyn picks and grab Jalen Green and Evan Mobley both, with Sengun. :D

    Rebuild over. :p

    Mobley played exactly 2 more minutes than Sengun.

    What is your point?

    And per the haters, Cavs have a multitude of playmakers while Rockets have a dearth at that position.

    Reason suggests that AST would be more difficult for Mobley who is being fed easy baskets while JA, Love and Markannen do not.

    Am I supposed to be wowed by 4 ast? Like you said its one game. Mobley averages only 2 a game so it aint a big part of his game. Mobley had 4 ast tonight cuz he couldnt do ****. Got pushed around due to his low weight couldnt get near the basket to score thats why he got more ast than usual cuz he kept giving up the ball after he shot 16% for the night.

    LMAO ur one to talk, at least I never said nobody wants to grow up to be like Giannis just before he won FMVP. Remember when you said Giannis is disgusting now you all about players even less skilled offensively than him. Absolute zero rangers like Simmons and Mobley at least Giannis takes a couple of 3s a night.

    Mobley only averages 2 asts a game, half of what Sengun does.

    The only reason Mobley got 4 ast is cuz he gave up the ball more than usual after he couldnt muscle his way in the paint to score. You are pointing to a 1 game aberration to make a judgement that Mobley is somehow amazing at playmaking.

    Just cuz Ryan Anderson dunked the ball once doesnt mean he is super athletic.

    If you wanna discuss today's game why dont you talk about his 4 reb and 2 pt on 16% FG? That is much more relevant and impactful than 4 ast.
