Sefolosha was a recent lottery pick at the time and one of the best defensive players on their team.... and Harden still played 22 minutes a game his rookie session. That's not the same as coming off the bench for washed up scrubs like Wall and Gordon. If you think the Rockets are stuck with them you should want Mobley over Green. He'd for sure start and help the team from day 1 and he arguably has a higher ceiling
You don't sabotage the future of your franchise playing washed up scrubs simply because they are paid a lot. You were just making excuses for Green's pedestrian showing in the G league now you try to knock Mobley saying he's not nba ready? Odd. Enjoy your day.
Lol, so this is one thing about Green you can twist into a positive or negative. The guy loves the limelight, he's going to like what the NBA lifestyle brings him. He's already famous on social media and he's already flashy outside of basketball... I do think Mobley is more humble and Green is that guy that wants to be the face of Nike and be Hollywood...I don't know if that is good or bad though. You can argue it's good because it's motivating. He's not just cool with getting an NBA check, he wants to be a global superstar ala Jordan, Kobe, Lebron...is he that? And if he's that will he just bolt to New York or LA ASAP? Green loves Kobe, will that love of Kobe eventually drive him to the Lakers? You can also argue it's bad because all these temptations can leave him to lose sight of the game. We know some guys that are more humble and low-key like Duncan, Hakeem, Dirk, and nowadays Kawhi...although yeah Kawhi did eventually go to LA but at least he has an excuse of being from LA in the first place.
It’s a different league now. The league is younger and lottery picks are expected to start and play ALoT.
Yea I get that. Trust me I would love to watch a KPJ JG starting backcourt next year. I just don’t see a scenario where we get out of both Wall and Gordon contracts without giving up picks.
Going by your anecdote, Silas is PG whisperer. Not SG whisperer. Green definitely not a PG. Mobley is better playmaker. Heck Scottie Barnes was a better playmaker than both Cade and Suggs. http://www.tankathon.com/players/compare?players=scottie-barnes--cade-cunningham--jalen-suggs
Mobley peak is Bam Adebayo and the Heat is not an exciting team. I feel picking Green would put the Rockets a more exciting team and more potential for dynasty. If KPJ and Green can make the Rockets better suitors for future free-agent PF/C. Whoever we pick, I'm all in. https://www.si.com/nba/raptors/news/toronto-raptors-jalen-green-generational-talent
Mobley wishes he can be like Bam. Mobley wishes he can pass like Bam, who averages 5.4 assists a game.
