I strongly believe this to be the case. You nailed it. Original goal of Westbrook / Harden facilitators surrounded by 3 & D players Transformed into Wall / Oladipo facilitators surrounded by lukewarm 3 & D attempt Now it's the foundation of Porter jr / Green with a goal of surrounding them with good 3 & D players. Solid winning basketball. Mobley fanatics just need to get over it.
https://theathletic.com/2738332/202...icks-and-the-latest-hes-hearing-on-draft-day/ Some people believe Green is the easiest prospect to market, and the Rockets are getting him to help with team interest instead of saddling Evan Mobley with that ticket-selling aspect of things.
You don't know any of this. You don't know what Tilman or Stone wants. You don't know if they told Mobley anything. Further there is no way to "know" Tilman's perspective - even AFTER the draft you won't really know that unless he provides an in depth interview.
Forgive my ignorance, but why is this true? Is Jalen a known name? Is it just because of all of his social media activity?
Duh! I mean just look at all the Jalen’s in this draft! Jalen Green, Jalen Suggs, Jalen Johnson… Jaylen Brown Jalen Rose Jalen Brunson Jalen McDaniels Jalen Jones Jalen Harris Jalen Smith I heard he’s a big instagram star, just got a big shoe deal, YouTube star/highlight waiting to happen, SportsCenter top 10 waiting to happen, fun, exciting! Jerseys, tickets, shoes oh my!
In the NBA the best media stars tend to also be among the best players in the league. If you a scrub you aint selling shoes.
Your retort makes no sense and doesn’t answer the question i posited. I didn’t ask why you support or defend Morey. I asked why this thread uses Morey as a comparison in terms of draft decisions when he’s never drafted anything. But ok.
