    I watched Sugg’s highlight today too. His playmaking ability impresses me.

    Mobley looks like Bosh clone. Very versatile big man, who is raw, young and can grow with Porter. I see wood Moving on if this is the pick. Although im sure they have Jalen Green is the headlight. If its between Mobley and Green. I think you pick the best talent, which is Green by like very close percentages, he could possibly be the next kobe man. Centers dont win championships anymore.

    That's the biggest concern. I'm weary of the idea of guys "developing an offensive game" or "developing a jump shot", because sometimes they just never develop the skill set.

    Green's offense is incredibly polished, with elite athleticism and shooting at a very high rate from 3 in the g-league. Mobley has a higher ceiling, but most guys never hit that ceiling. Ben Simmons is a jumpshot and a scoring mentality away from a perennial all-NBA guy, but the odds of him ever developing an offense is slim to none.

    Aren't there concerns also with Mobley and his work ethic? There are rumors that basketball isn't really a passion for him. That doesn't bode well in developing skill. Usually basketball maniacs who are extremely passionate develop their skills. Guys like Kobe or even Harden. Basketball is always number one in their lives. If you don't have that drive you won't develop your full potential and there are already rumors that Mobley doesn't have that drive. Bad sign.

    I don't know much about Green off the court though.

    I want the guy who has greater passion and can handle physical contact. Jalen Green has shown that in the G- league.

    I'm not sure about Mobley's work ethic, but for someone as athletic as Green to shoot as well as he does, I find that very promising. Courtesy of Thunder community

    This shot chart basically exemplifies today's league, an elite finisher and a good shooter who doesn't settle for mid-range shots. If he is doing this at 19 years old in the G-League, I do think it'll translate very well to the NBA.

    Ya and usually guys in the gleague have some proffesional or D1 experience under their belt. Green did that right out of high school.

    I don't like guards that can't shoot like Suggs, he's more like Marcus Smart than Brandon Roy at this point.

    There's only two guards that are bad shooters who are good, Fox and Morant, but both have freakish athleticism that Suggs do not have.
