Crazy measurables on this guy 6"5.5 barefoot 7'2 wingspan and a 9'0.5 standing reach. That's why he be dunking everything within 2 feet of the basket.

I like this pick after hearing his story.

He start off playing junior college at 6'3 as a guard then he hit a growth spurt and no has the vision of a point guard in a forward's body.

Strange for a guard that can't shoot 3s. Hope Darko fixes his shot mechanics

Scottie Barnes and Jonathan Mogbo were childhood friends. However, Barnes didnt look very suprised or thrilled.

edit: nvm. this one is the better video

From that? Was a random occurrence previously. It's why in the chat they say future raptor.

- Handed the keys to the team
- A guaranteed 228M (with potential to hit 270M)
- Drafted one of your best friends.

Ball is in Scottie's court now (no pun intended). I'm a huge Barnes fan but a monster season better be forthcoming.

In 2027, after we tank in 2025 and 2026.

is Jalen Williams minus the 3, a decent comp for Mogbo?

Barnes made some demands before agreeing to that max contract.

HE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING DOWN!!

To be fair...guards have gone a lot higher without knowing how to shoot. Some of them even went on the max contracts and STILL can't shoot.

Didn't realize he was a good passer. 24.5 AST% to a 13.8% TO% is pretty impressive for a guy with his size profile. What's more, he makes decisions quickly.

Watching these highlights from San Francisco...Mogbo's gonna have to do more than dunk. But what's fun to watch is the chemistry he has with his teammate...Mongolian Mike Sharavjamts...basically Asian Dalano Banton.

Mogbo such hard player to compare he kind looks like if Precious could handle the ball (and not dribble it off his foot like the real one lol) with a touch of Scottie's passing.

Overall I really like the look of him but just like Precious, that jumper will be what determines whether he's just an end of bench guy or an incredibly valuable piece to your rotation.

I think hearing Bobby call him a wing is inspiring. He played as a C in college but most times the NBA role is 95% different than what they did in college. I guess they must have looked back at his tape and saw that he could shoot.

If Mogbo actually can shoot we have a versatile wing which is exciting, but I am less excited about a Kenneth Faried type in the modern NBA.

He's not a wing IMO any more than a guy like Faried or Draymond

Its officially Scottie's team when he's influencing roster decisions. They must have known he was going 31st.
