Barnes will be a problem once he matures physically but his frame is superb. One thing at a time but that midrange is very promising.
For Mobs he’s very much like AD (+ defense - minus scoring) instead of Bosh with similarities to a less athletic but taller Russell on defense. I had Garnett but he was abit more bouncy and shorter. Never saw Bosh having this kind of defensive potential.
Both have as we probably know a super high floor and obviously plus impact players on winning which is unusual for a rookie because they aren’t the easiest positions to play being a first year and young to boot.
Hoping for more playing time to Butler today and for the OKC wings to stop clanking easy looks from Giddey’s passing lol. Dude should be averaging 7+ assists.
Anyway once again great class so many rooks to follow!
On a lighthearted note, i've been thinking of nick names, no idea on Barnes ('Scottie 2 Hottie' is just eeehh, not a fan), but Mobley's is probably much easier, something like The Mob or The Mob'ster
Any argument between raps fans and Mobley/Barnes on the the Rookie thread refer to Barnes & Moble
Here’s a few of my own:
Evan “Mobility or Mobile” Mobley
Scottie “Bucky” Barnes
James “Boogie” Bouknight
Jonathan “Kumquat” Kuminga
Josh “Giddy4” Giddey
Trey “Lupin” Murphy III
Herbert “Sutcliffe” Jones
Isaiah “Chopped” Livers
Aaron “Andrew” Wiggins
Jericho “Iron Man” Sims
Luka Garza “Strip”
Moses “M&M” Moody
Franz “The German or German” Wagner
(Bonus points if anyone can catch the references).
Nicknames are short sharp and sweet and plays on words for fun.
Haha I’m still waiting for Double O to take off that’s a sick nickname for Onyeka. Also Sexland will get renamed to Mobland in due time lol.
