    Mobley's a shorter Ralph Sampson.

    John Wall should win 6th man of the year if Silas has any nuts.

    KPJ and Green start. Wall and EG off the bench.

    Mobley has the talent to play all three front court positions. We now finally have a good inside defender. And he’s talented enough to switch on anyone and not get blown by. He’s the most versatile player in this draft. I like his upside more than Cade.

    Green is more swinging for the fence. High ceiling low floor. Suggs mid ceiling, high floor; less likely to bust. Mobley as far as talent is above Green/Suggs, that's why most projections had him #2. The one thing that's bothering people is big men being less relevant nowdays.

    But who knows, with this year's rule change on fouls, things may start to tilt.

    Privately, is Mobley lateral quick enough for 3, 4 spot, i wonder. A skinny 7'0", who can develop a real good shooting touch; i might be hoping too much.

    He will be a highlight machine. Beauty is that you don’t need to reinvent the current team. Everyone keeps developing with guaranteed PT and current roles.

    I am thinking that the first 4 may be pretty close.

    Might agree that the G league should get a fixed 10-12 spot just because.

    Normally Gleaguers are more polished but have a lower ceiling.

    I seriously dont understand why the NBA doesn't want one of the Largest cities in the country to be great. We get treated like a small market. The NBA needs to start giving us stuff and be rewarded.

    I say take Mobley because you can't teach size.

    Yeah, that's my fear. I feel they will be plug in and play but I think with a top 3 pick you're looking for a HOF talent.

    I don’t see Detroit doing that. It would be a real haul for them, though.

    Wow... They had us sweating bullets. So glad we keep out lottery protected top 4 pick (the NUMBER 2 PICK in the 2021 draft!)
