    Why are we doing this? I feel like I'm having an argument with my wife. :(

    There are 2 other players I'd rather have had at #2.

    Wagner. Barnes. If Suggs could stay healthy then Suggs.

    Not big on wirey 7 footers that cant shoot. Floor raisers and ceiling lower-ers. Like a worse Chet Holmgren or Wemby. I still prefer Bari over him.

    But I'd take him over Jalen in a re-draft.

    I'm more ticked that we didn't get Jalen Williams. Now he is a real SG that would have taken us to the next level. Different draft but still.

    What? Mobley is coming off consecutive seasons shooting 37-37.3%......he ain't Giannis when it comes to shooting.

    He just does not attempt over 5 Attempts that is all......

    A low volume shooter is not the same as a non shooter.

    I heard Jaylin Williams is a shooter now....

    Green is still young, he could turn into Kobe in a few years. After 5 years, we can say it's a good thing we didn't draft the mobley.

    He is 23. Kobe won his 3rd ring at 23, and had been once all nba 1st team, twice all nba 2nd team, and once all nba 3rd team

    His NBA 4th year not bad for his standards, it is just not good enough for Playoff standards.....and Udoka's standards.

    The original post. And while Sengun and Mobley would work wonders, there is no way they draft Sengun.
    Still been cheering for Green to succeed from June 2021 til now. Have to find a way to make all the pieces fit. Jabari can't be the best shooter and only get 12 minutes. ridonk.

    He’s a good defensive center but I’m not a fan of bigs that can’t create their own shot. He’s just a pick n roll big and a lob threat.

    We whiffed on green but if we drafted Mobley, we wouldn’t be in the position to draft amen, and amen is better.

    He is sold too short.

    i'm not losing sleep over Wagner and Barnes...

    Mobley has been a very nice player so far. I was definitely wrong about him. But we may have seen his peak already. I'm not sure he really has a lot of realistic pathways of evolving further.

    Cade is the only guy we really "missed out" on and that had to do with the ping pong balls more our incompetence.

    I heard several members on this board tell me he didn't have the motor, or motivation, to be a star. For whatever reason I believed it.

    I think if we took Mobley in that draft we don't take Sengun given they play more or less the same position. I'm fine with the way things worked out.
