I like Green and no doubt see the need for his scoring potential but at #2 you draft BPA every time. Mobley is unquestionably the best player at that spot.

(Interesting this article is coming from nba.com.. maybe they like the fit too... :wink: )

I think its more holding your own for the most part but more importantly having the smarts and lateral quicks to adjust and aniticpate where you have to be defensively so everyone is on a string.

Do we know who we’re sending to the lottery yet?

If it’s not Masai I really hope it’s OG. Seeing his live reaction if we win the lottery would be priceless

If we sent Bargs we’d somehow come out of the Lotto with the last pick
