2021 Draft Prospects Thread: Send in what you find

Just so you guys know, Mobley will not translate to a center in the NBA. He’s going to be a hybrid Sf/Pf.

Probably won’t be banging down low with the big boys for many years to come. But he’s a smooth operator on offense. Great handles for a kid that size too. Silky jump shot.

I don’t know anything about him as a one on one defender, but the length is there, and he seems to have good time on block shots.

Mobley is for sure a C in the Towns mold

Not without putting on 20 lbs or more.

[Scoots1994]

Actually you know what, fck the 2021 draft. Personally I think it is ooverrated although they are better prospects than 2021 draft. But, the 2022 draft is where all the superstars are if they do the double draft where you can draft guys straight from highschool

Bates, Wembanyama, Chet, Jaden Hardy, Banchero, Baldwin, AJ Griffin, Nzosa etc. I believe all these guys have more potential than the players in the 2021 draft

Watch on YouTube

The Rona may get a lot more prospects declaring for 2021 than is usual.

these guys are non-eligible for 21, Bates the earliest is 22

I wasn't talking about those specific guys, just that the 21 draft may be even stronger because many more prospects may declare while looking at limited opportunities to play and a massive money crunch all over the place.

Almost certainly the un-drafted free agents next year will be better than average

i mean, dude's in HS, I have no doubt he'll put on more weight and muscle, but he's not an inside banger anyways, he needs to maintain his 3-level mobility and skill, that's his value and what makes him a special C prospect.

Ok, that’s fine. But like KD he doesn’t need to be pigeon holed into being a center because of his height. Also like KD, I don’t see him putting on significant weight.

i'm not pigeon holing him, that's just his best position, if you drop him down a position or two that's just gonna take away from the advantage he'd have as a C.

Towns was the comparison you made and he weighs nearly 40 pounds more.

Mobley seems more likely to be a 3/4 with some minutes at 5 than a starting 5 who gets most of his minutes there.

yes, he has the Towns skill set, and Towns didn't not have 40 lbs. on him when he was in HS...he's listed at 7-0 210 lbs as an 18 year old, this nonsense about his size is a non starter.

and no offense, but if you put Mobley at the 3 or even the 4 in most situations you don't know what ur doing.

You remember that KD lead the NCAA in rebounding in college with like 11+ per game? And he was primarily a power forward.

But what do you know, he plays small forward in the league where he is possibly the best mismatch in basketball as a small forward. I’m not saying he is KD, but he is eerily similar to me. And his frame just doesn’t look like pack on muscle mass dude. He’s more slim reaper.

his mobility, handling, overall skill set right now is a + at the 5, it's what sets him and Towns apart at C than all the other C, you keep moving them down a position and you're taking that advantage away

why is the point? i don't understand. dude's a stud C prospect who has elite skill...why are you moving him down? just so you can get that couple of inches advantage while you take away advantage everywhere else? doesn't make any sense.

I hear what you’re saying. And I don’t necessarily disagree. But I stand by the fact that KD as a small forward is the best mismatch in the League. If you can replicate that with Mobley then you do it. You don’t need him banging with bigger players if you don’t have to.

Either way it could work. Saying it doesn’t make sense is merely your opinion.

The point is that Towns DID put on the weight, and Mobley would need to too.

He played a number of games at SG with OKC too.

Take any advantage you can, and Mobley has advantages and disadvantages at every position on the floor it's just a matter of maximizing them. I think if you take a skinny guy and say he is going to win on the defensive end against bigger, stronger guys he's going to wear down more and lose a lot compared to the speed advantage at 4 and the length advantage at 3.

I don't doubt Mobley CAN play 5, I don't think he will play mostly 5, and certainly not early in his career.

Kai Sotto.

7’2” with versatility. Could still grow taller.

Warriors could get him for global marketing purposes as well. He’d be the first full-blooded Filipino in the NBA and the whole nation will be supporting him. Also a lot of Filipinos in the Bay Area.

Could probably get him in the 2nd round. Currently in Walnut Creek playing for their G-League team.

He’s a G-league stash for a few years. Dude needs to fill out. Also his stance/running is awkward.

Desmond Bane. Some of you been talking about him right? Just saw a clip on IG of him draining threes. Built like a war tank.

Bane is in this draft, not 2021.

Whoops Misread the thread title.

[cdubbz]

This one focuses on the top of the draft next year. Lots of good talent. That Minny pick could be good.

Exactly and I won’t entertain a trade including that pick unless it grabs us a star. Early to late lottery is a great addition to our roster esp if we keep #2 pick. That’s two lottery picks plus a still young Wiggins with our trio

Complete pass unless it’s late 2nd round. Not sure Warriors need more hype to sell tickets, but I get what you mean. Just not worth it unless he develops an elite NBA skill which he hasn’t shown yet.
