    He reminds me of a dollar store Kevin Garnett. If we were at 4 and he fell to us I would be fine with him bit at 2 he seems like a gamble.

    He brings much more to the table than Capela ever did. I think you’re going to be surprised.

    The Eric Mobley who died isn't his dad. His dad is an assistant at USC and does a lot of retweeting.

    I think we should get this guy in the draft. Kill the small ball idea. Even Brooklyn couldn't pull it off.

    Ya really wanna be the Team who takes a Big at number 2 and yeas later see elite player like Green bursts like crazy?? You take the elite high upside player! Taking Evan is such a high boom or bust player man. Like Green can be one of those players that can be in highest PPG player. Evan and wood being on the floor..idk man.

    This is Mobleys ceiling. As a matter of fact Ayton looks like a beast when you compare him with Mobley. Not a #2 pick in this draft.

    KG started as a 3. He refused to be bullied around. I don't think Mobley can do that. There are also concerns that Mobley isn't all that interested in playing basketball ala Anthony Edwards. Edwards isn't as good as Lamelo Ball.

    His offense doesn't look all that polished. Actually his game remind me of wood, it's a lot of dribble drive with limited low post moves.

    I think he's going to be catching lobs for a while in the NBA before trying to create his own shot

    And how often do teams get the second overall pick? In these rare opportunities we shouldn't be looking for a lonbthreat but a number 1 type option guy and Green far better fits that role.

    Lob threats are a dime a dozen. You can find those type of players late in the first round like Capella.

    Mark my word...Mobley is going to be a bust!
    Beware of the historical #2 bust pick!
    The league has evolved into a "guard league"
    Jalen Suggs is NBA READY and coming from a program like Gonzaga, he will be a future All-Star.
    He could be Brandon Roy 2.0 (without the injuries).

    This. I have been watching Green’s highlight and his step back threes and finishing in traffic looked impressive. Even if he doesn’t developed into a star he can be a decent scorer. Mobley looks like a lesser Wood right now. People keep mentioning his defense but you don’t want to waste a #2 pick on a Capela type player.

    Ayton already had NBA center size while in college. Mobley can be deadly if he can gain muscle and keep his agility. But I still like Green more.

    Suggs would be my number 2 option behind Green. Suggs has a higher floor than Green due to being more polished currently but Green has a higher ceiling.
    Mobley would be my third choice.
