I'm a big fan of Mobley. He looks like a Chris Bosh starter kit. Maybe it's that he is a lefty who wears #4 that biases my opinion, but Mobley reminds me so much of Bosh.
Rockets ar pick #2. Who you want if your them?
- Thread starter toolshed
- Start date
you have absolutely no ****ing clue what you’re talking about.
decision will be up to the front office with input from coaches, as it always has been.
I personally want green or perhaps a trade swap w Detroit to get Cade.
Agreed, I don’t see anybody in this draft making a Luka Doncic or Trae Young type impact. Not a great year to be picking top 5 IMO, but I guess we’ll see if that’s true in the next few years.
If these scouts knew what they were talking about, there wouldn't be so many top 5 busts.
Big men these days always seem to break down, so I'd pass on Mobley.
I'm no expert, but whenever I watched Cunningham play, I thought he didn't have the freak athleticism to be number 1. It's possible that he's so smooth, he makes everything look effortless.
Same knock on Suggs. Not athletic enough, and he doesn't have the skills that Cunningham has.
I'd go with green at #2, but as they say opinions are like assholes...
Disagree. I think Cunningham or Green have that type of potential long term.
This is considered a very strong top of the draft class by virtually every expert. How they pan out, we shall see, but people are very excited about the top 4 guys.
Yeah...all the people who know agree it is a super strong top 5. Cade has Simmons w a J potential. That's MVP upside. Mobley has Bosh potential but could be a better passer. Green, Dame potential. Suggs seems like a Mike Conley type player to me...with more scoring umph. And Kuminga has an NBA body and maybe more upside (though a lower floor) than all of em. That is a loaded top 5 from a potential standpoint. Also....all those dudes averaged at least 15ppg (not sure about Kuminga) in their preNBA year on teams w some success....so the bet isn't all on potential, like an Anthony Edwards.
I cannot ignore what Baylor did to Suggs. He was erased and he had neither the explosiveness to get to the basket or the shot to make them pay for their aggressiveness. Pass
Take Mobley and pair him with Wood. The NBA is all about the inside game these days.
Bet you could get Porzingis and Brunson from Dallas. Houston should call them immediately.
Not sure Luka could be any better than he already is, but the Mavs sure could use either player. Problem for Rockets is they don’t have Luka, and there’s only one of him.
Mobley and Wood are both athletic enough to defend the perimeter. Mobley can also stretch out towards the three point line. I have zero problem if we go with Mobley. Unless Detroit screws up and doesn't take Cunnigham I'd prefer Mobley. Athletic big men with natural defensive instincts and a good offensive game beyond 10 feet are extremely rare.
Take the scorer. Whichever one that is. I know nothing about the prospects in contention.
And if the Mavs don't surround him with Woods' or Mobleys, he might be playing for another team.
Very small if. Getting the best young player in decades happens once in decades. Adding players to him happens multiple times a year.
Just like the Astros will suck within a couple of years like you said a couple years ago. You're trolling has fallen off so far it isn't even entertaining any more.
You protest a little too much. The Astros are on a downward path. You can mark this.
I called the Rockets disaster. They’re going nowhere. You can mark this too.
Now, go throw your tantrum somewhere else.
The Astros are on a downward path?
Watch out everyone! The best team in the AL with bregman, Tucker, and verlander out is going down the drain!
Jesus I’ve read some stupid stuff in here - but this one gets the prize today. Hilarious!
Go Astros!
Giannis, AD and Luka all happened in the last decade...so it seems it happens multiple times in a decade
LOL. Neither of those two compares to Luka in first 3 years of career and AD doesn’t compare to him at all. Next.
We’ll check back.The Astros are on a downward path?

Well AD has a ring and Giannis is a lot closer to one than Luka by a mile...and has 2 MVPs. Luka is using the Harden offensive model and is very good at it. He just doesn't have Harden's playoff success.
You pick the best prospect. If that is Mobley, you take him. If it is Green or Suggs you take them. If you work them all out and think it is Kuminga... go for it. See if they can work and if not flip the player who has the lower upside. If it were Zion or Luka or AD, I think you fit the need. With Wood, Tate and KJ Martin as your building blocks, get the best guy.
