    Of these two, Pat Peterson and Tosh Gibbon, I'd say Gibbon is the one to lead us into the future.

    He's only 16 years older so the Cottingham-Gibbon pairing has some real comedic potential. "Boy what's up with all this soundcloud in my day we had real trappers like lil wayne!"

    I doubt we get the first pick, but the league rewarded Cleveland quick after Lebron left... anything could happen

    I think they are going to end up with #3 and draft Kuminga. Not what I want to happen I just can't imagine them getting that lucky. But Kuminga at 3 would be my choice. He is my 2nd best fit next to Wood after Cade. Either at the 3 or the 4.

    Obviously can’t speak for Cade, but Wood and Porter are better than Siakam and OG.

    Mobley would move to the wing IMO.

    Like Ralph Sampson, his perimeter game is more advanced than his low post game.

    And Mobley is better perimeter defender than Wood.

    You may have case for offense, maybe.

    But absolutely no way are they better on defense.

    Are you saying talent wise or similar playing style? Because those player comparisons are way way way off if you're implying those players play like each other

    Mobley looks pretty good as iso defender to me.

    When Porter playing with confidence, he can make even elite defenders like Marcus Smart look silly.
