    If Mobley had scored 23 points I'd be down on the Rockets' defense more so than anything.

    Scoring 23 points on 18 shots in a Summer League game is alright, but nothing special.

    If it’s “alright,” why didn’t any other rookie do it?

    No, they aren't casuals. You just have hedged your bets against Green and now due to your ego you have to play this game you currently are.

    How many rookies took 18 shots?

    I believe it was Ray Allen who said that NBA casuals biggest misconception is not understanding how difficult it is to get a shot attempt up in the NBA.

    If you watched the Rockets game and came away thinking Green was the standout performance, at best you're a casual.

    It was by no means a bad performance, it was just outshined by Sengun's performance.

    Not really. If you are going by some ratio of actual performance/draft selection, sure but Green showed why he's the most dangerous scorer in this draft. Sengun played above his draft spot. That doesn't mean he was more impressive than Green. Green at 19 already has advanced footwork for shot creation on top of being the flat out best athlete in this draft.

    Oh god this would be so ironic if you have a spare tire and never played a game of at least high school ball.

    Sorry dude, I'm going to trust Ray Allen's opinion on the difficulty of getting a shot attempt off in the NBA over yours. I hope you understand.

    You’re simple. Green is probably the no 1 talent in the draft. You need to get your vision checked asap

    Well, your guy Mobley took 17 shots and had 12 points, what does that make him...?

    On all honesty, if Sengun is even 80% of Mobley's max potential, we win the draft by miles. .80Mobley + Jalen Green is an absolute steal.

    I didn't realize Mobley was a Rocket.

    So you see a player put up 15/15 with 4 blocks and 3 assists...which should have been 5 if his teammates were paying attention. Just killing it on both sides of the ball... and you think the superior performance was the guy who scored 23 points on 18 shots.....

    Lol, I think we're done here.

    So did Mobley. Everyone took almost the same amount of shots, one of them scored over 20.

    You want him to admit he was wrong?

    Good luck with that.
