Silas and Hornacek love multiple ball handlers and decision makers. We can't go wrong with either Mobley or Cade but I believe Cade will be the quickest to be NBA ready. Mobley has height and handles but I really don't know how his body will hold up against other NBA bigs. I also don't know if he has the frame to build up and if his frame can hold enough weight to play a 5 in the NBA. If we get Mobley I don't think we keep wood.
I think Cade is the real deal, with the first pick you can’t pass on him. It is a guard league his 25ppg has a greater impact than Mobley’s 25ppg. We are kind of seeing that right now with 50pts per game coming from the 5 and 4 spots.
That and Cade really does have some amazing court vision. I think KPJ needs to focus on what he really is good at and that is scoring. When that kid focuses on scoring he is definitely something special. Cade will allow that.
hold on, wait a minute… so all this focus and talk about Cade’s lack of athleticism, but he still managed to shoot 69.2% at the rim during his lone college season… people love to act like unless you’re some explosive athlete with major bounce, u won’t be able to finish at the rim in the NBA I see the likes of Jrue Holiday playing a very slow and methodical game not using much of his athleticism, yet still shooting 67, 66, 63, and 70% at the rim the past 4 seasons
the logic is sound. FIT is a real thing especially after the Russ fiasco. You cant just throw together BPA's and hope for the best. need a strategic approach to team building. Green is like a Ray Allen/Kobe combo to me. scoring machine who can D it up. Mobley is the best defender in the draft IMO. Im OK with any of the top 4, but Green-Mobley are my 1-2. Green went and played against grown men and professionals in the GLeague while other guys are one and done in college - hate that Greens choice to become a pro will be used against him if upper execs frown on the route he took.
Yes, it does. I hope TF will stop interfering in Stone's job. Stone made one bad move in acquiring Oladipo. He has chosen well with his limitations and has traded for KPJr for only a SRP. I believe his hands were tied by Westbrook. He wanted to retain Harden. Unfortunately, we got stuck with Wall because of Russ's gigantic contract.
Just found out Cade is from Arlington, Tx. That is a deal breaker for me, we can't be rooting for ppl from that region. Jalen Green ---> LET'S go.
I ran the tankathon simulator. The Bulls got the 1st pick, OKC 2nd, and our Rockets came 3rd. That would be good enough considering that there is no guarantee of retaining a top 4 pick. TF ruined everything by insisting on Westbrook at all cost.
This is the highest USG% by John Wall (31.7%); but unfortunately one of his lowest Ast% (36.3%). Next season he will need to take more of a back seat. Cut down his USG% to 25% or lower. Increase his Ast%. Work on setting up lobs, hitting cutters, slashers. Team full of facilitators usually are poor in catch and shoot 3's. As indicated by our poor 3-pt shooting. This is why I ask for more role players and less ball handling table setters. Brooks and Olynyk are the only real 3 point threats. And i don't worry about them much. For the most part, I'm hedging my defenders towards packing the paint to try and stop drives, cuts, slashes, lobs.
From day one I've felt number 3 pick, but I hope I'm wrong and it's better. I'm good with Cade or Jalen Green or Suggs or Kuminga. I will go on record that Mobley will be a bust if we try to play him at center or PF for any great stretch of time. I will gladly eat crow if he shows me otherwise. I was high on Jaren Jackson as the new prototypical NBA center. But he is 245 pounds. Has only played 9 games this season. I believe injured often his rookie season 2 years ago. But Clutchfans will at least have a better SF than what we got now. Don't look for Mobley to average more that 16 or 17 points per game though. Which is what Jaren Jackson gets. And injured often, because I see him as soft and weak. As far as Wall: CP3 extension set up>>>>>Westbrook set up>>>>>>>>Wall Harden demand to leave set up>>>LeVert/Jarrett Allen set up>>>>Dipo set up>>>>>>picks _________________ Serenity prayer: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.
