As a pistons fan I think the pistons blew the Cade pick all he do is stand around and shoot threes

He was considered too skinny and that he doesn't do much other than shooting

Mobley flashed ball handling in serious traffic tonight and some passing leading to good shot opportunities. Wasnt a box score wonder But he looked good in spots.

Yeah but he’s very dominant defensively especially first half of the second quarter and early in the last so far.

Brings that elite impact already.

Cade 1 on 1 eating Scottie

No doubt. Only watching him on defense. He’s everywhere. Never out of position.

This game was pure dominance.

Won the game on defense in the 4th quarter.

Mobley is, let me say, it is again generational. Other rookies aren't on his stratosphere.

What a game by Mobley! Sick defense and totally took over in the 4th with his scoring.

The two way impact in the 4th was ridiculous. A rookie big shouldn’t be that good this soon.

You're just highly underrating Barnes. He's shown he has superstar potential just like Mobley. Not sure what "transcental" is.
Barnes has been just as good, if not better, than Mobley this season.

I am also a Raps fan, and a huge Barnes fan, but there is a vast chasm between Mobley and Barnes. Think of it this way, if the Raps called up the Cavs and offered to trade Scottie for Mobley, how many unprotected picks and swaps would they have to add to make the Cavs even consider it?

lol what a foolish comment.

Is it? Do you watch the games?

It’s 100% true.

This didn't age well. Took over down the stretch and secured the W. Shooting slumps doesn't mean players are bad. They can impact the game in other ways.

Cade scored 4 baskets. 2 were open 3s and the other 2 were on OG

He never scored on Scottie so idk how you can say this lol

The ROY is Mobley's to lose at this point.

It's Mobley and then everyone else. Leading the ROY race by a mile.

ROY is different then best rookie ... when Scottie was scoring a lot more points and Evan was mostly dunking lobs it gave Scottie an edge for ROY. Evan is both increasing and diversifying his scoring and making clutch plays on both ends of the floor. He's passed Scottie, IMO, but it's a long season and sadly someone on one of the tanking teams scoring 20ppg on 22 shots could win it if ROY voters don't wise up.

Which rookie impresses you the most?
