    True but the advanced stats were still very bad. Seems like a pretty big red flag even though he is young.

    Jalen Green would be the favorite #1 had he gone to college.

    I am assuming that he is working on his shortcomings but they are few. His strengths outweigh the negatives. Potentially blowing the negatives away.

    Didn’t matter how skinny Davis was, he was waaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more skilled than Mobley. Mobley’s ceiling is Chris Bosh. Which is not a bad thing, just see him being a lanky rim protector and alley finisher

    Yes, take Green assuming Detroit takes Cade. Bigs have more bust potential and this is a guard-driven league.

    He’s got jump out of your skin athleticism even on his jumpers. Jordan was similar in that way. So athletic that he can look out of control while still maintaining control.

    I have been watching the nba for 25 years now. but ill readily admit i know sh*t about evaluating players. But I WANTED the number 2 pick. Hoping Green would go to the Rockets. He looks better on his highlights than most any players I have seen at that age.

    I think I am better at looking at football players simply because I have thought about it trying to win at fantasy football.

    What is his D$&@ height?? He looks short and don’t look like he has good length either...he must measure well in order for me to take him at 2.

    If he don’t measure well I’m taking Mobley.

    Jalen green is closer to 6’3 than 6’5. He does remind me of Jordan though. Jordan Clarkson.

    Green represents the United States internationally but has also shown interest in playing for the Philippines in the future due to his partial Filipino background.

    Not as concerned about his lack of playmaking as I am excited about his shooting and athleticism. Let him be the go to scorer and let KPJ run pnr with Wood/KMJ.

    I'm sold. Jalen Green it is. He only goes to the line 2 times though. Is that normal in the G league?
    I need them, KPJ and Green, to work hard on the theatrics of the game.

    Olynyk
    Wood
    Tate
    Green
    KPJ

    Jalen Green is really the only logical pick in many ways.
    If you get Mobley then Wood trades rumors would heat up.
    If you get Suggs then KPJ pouting rumors heat up.
    Green fits in perfectly from day one. The team gets better and stays intact. Win win.

    I'm leaning Green too. Just love the natural scoring feel plus quickness and athleticism he brings to the table.

    Silas would really need to work with this kid he’s so raw.

    And teams will hunt for him on switches when the games really count.

    Interesting form on his jumper, but given that is the first set of highlights I've see of him, I'd be excited to see him develop. If nothing else he'd create some great highlights.
