I'd take Mobley over all of these guys personally. But out of the choices, I like Cade and Suggs the best.
We can't draft Cunningham number one because it will hurt John Walls feelings and we all know how silas feels about John Wall And Silas also luvs dipo..bet we resign him Yes I'm saying this team is dumb enuff to keep dipo over Cade Wish I was kidding but I really believe this.. I say this becuz I bet we bench porter when wall comes back.. That proves my point bout Cade.. Just a really weak front office. Cowering down to vets
Generally, I agree. But there are exceptions. For instance, if Minnesota keeps their pick, would it really be wise for them to draft Mobley when they already have a franchise center in KAT? When you’re rebuilding and you land a top 5 draft pick, you want that player to be plugged into the lineup and start developing immediately. Hard to do that being the back up for a franchise player that’s likely to be around for years. Let’s assume KPJ is the real deal and is the franchise PG moving forward. Is drafting Cade still a no brainer in a deep draft like this one where there’s not much of a gap between players 1-5? I don’t think so. Because it’s such a deep draft, I think we can afford to be picky and prioritize fit.
I’m not knocking Mobley or your picks. But we should all know by now that wing players run this league — especially two-way wing players that have the height and wingspan to impact the game in variety of ways. Last two minutes of the game, you can count on wing players getting their own shot or generating an open look for someone else. Not only are centers a much bigger risk of being busts, but they’re also extremely injury prone and often take years to develop. Look at the Sixers. They got lucky drafting a once in a generational center in Embiid, and still might never win anything with him because he can’t stay on the court.
Guards Run this League Only. Jalen Green and Cade Cunningham are the Prize. I think Jalen Green Speed and Athleticism is Similar to Kevin Porter Jr. I believe they can play together because they can Run Fast Breaks, Jalen can Shoot 3s off Ball and Create with Playmaking Skills. Cade Cunningham Speed looks like Luka Doncic Speed. Skill Set is Similar. Cade might play Point Forward. Very Torn on Both Players. Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. look Similar.
lol, this is a no brainer...u take Cade, thank basketball jesus for the blessing, and call it a night people need to stop talking about fit...
I hear Jalen Green is a pure shooter, like eddie jones type player. He is #1 prospect so remember this. But skipped college most people dont like this. Btw Kevin Porter is point guard so there probably looking for SF,C or SG. That means Cade,Suggs is out. I personally would build Twin Towers w/ Evan Mobley. You already got Porter, and seen what too many guards can do with small ball.
I'll go for Cade over Jalen Green for now. If Green improves his 3 point shooting appreciably by the time of the draft, then he will become my first choice, provided if plays good defense too.
Mobley is a glaring omission from the poll obviously, but I think the answer for me is "any of those five guys." We keep reading that the top 5 of this draft is as strong as any in years, so I'd be thrilled with any of them. If I had to pick, my preference would be for Cunningham or Mobley, because they're great defensive players on top of having unique skillsets that are coveted in today's NBA. Actually adding some length to the roster for a change couldn't hurt either. But I would take any of those five and be thrilled. At this point, you just hope and pray that they keep the pick. If they do, I'll worry more about what they're going to do with it.
nah just trade the pick for the best surefire player available currently in the league ps that and get every player on the rockets his personal shooting coach
Honestly any of those would be a huge upgrade to the team.. KPJ will be primary ball handler so I like to get someone next to him and not someone who can replace him
The race for the number one pick in the draft is down to Cunningham and Green. Cunningham is the best player in college basketball hands down. He is getting better as the season progresses and he will likely lead his team very deep into the tournament. That is the player that likely goes #1. Green has tremendous upside to be an elite scorer and he is considered to be very coachable. A few teams may take him #1, as he is a guy with a huge upside. A Porter/Cunningham back court would work very well... lots of size
I’m taking Mobley and not thinking twice about it. Cade is amazing he’s just not a 7ft unicorn who can lockdown the paint area. KPJ Herro? Thybulle? MPJ?? Mobley Wood And it all also depend who we trade for at the deadline.
For me its all about fit. Im all in on KPJ as PG for this team and you are not maximizing Cade playing him off ball. I'd put Green or Mobley next to KPJ and give him better offensive threats. Guys who WANT to go score. Last night the young uns were playing hot potato with the ball and I wanted to see SOMEONE take on that role. For me according to my vision of fit: Green Mobley Cade Kuminga
