Giddey vs the Pelicans. Pels are probably the worst defensive team on this list lol.

You're absolutely right, i misread. Looks like Bouknight is going to get more minutes in Rozier's place.

Duarte with 16 points with 5 minutes left in the first half. Scored every way. Step back, catch and shoot, on the drive.

Impressive start.

Mobley looks great 11/7/4 in 3Q with a 3 and some unicorn plays

Ja Morant is must watch TV. Most exciting guard since young Rose, maybe more so

Jalen Green negative thirty on the field

Negative thirty two

Amazing debut by Evan Mobley.

DowJones · Post #252 » by **DowJones** » Thu Oct 21, 2021 2:15 am

Mobley is incredibly skilled. He has 17-9-6 with 2 blocks.

Vampirate · Post #253 » by **Vampirate** » Thu Oct 21, 2021 2:17 am

Evan Mobley by far had the best debut tonight out of all the rookies.

Barnes meh
Suggs meh
Green Meh

Giddey looks like he's having an OK night

Green had a terrible game shooting-wise and he was trash on defense (just like the entire Rockets team) but that kid is fast AF and had some nice passes. He can get to the rim whenever he wants (and then gets stonewalled by a guy who outweighs him by 60 pounds)

Bruin · Post #255 » by **Bruin** » Thu Oct 21, 2021 2:34 am

Barnes had a good debut, got into foul trouble with some phantom fouls. Nurse should’ve challenged a BS offensive foul that should’ve been an and1 to give him 15

Needs to control the turnovers. Would’ve also had more assists tho if the entire team wasn’t shooting horrendously all game

Looks like Mobley had a terrific debut, good for the Cavs

From someone who watched, Mobley really didn't do anything too crazy tonight. Actually mildly surprised by the final statline. Maybe that's a good thing.

Looks like Mobley and Wagner leading the rookies so far.

Also shoutout to our 46th pick Dalano Banton. Kid looked great in the 4th quarter and hit a half court heave as his very first touch in the NBA lol

I think Mobley’s scoring in College and definitely his passing abilities are grossly overlooked here.

He stacks up better to other highly defensive center prospects coming through years past.

I don’t think he’s raw at all moreso just the physical stuff.

Was amazing positional wise in College on the defensive end and that translated over easily.

He’s all kinds of special (Mobley first then Green then back to Mobley pre draft, now it’s Mobley in a tier by himself).

Who will be the three best rookies?
