that's a pretty damn strong 6 IMO if things hold up.


thought Kuminga said he wasn't reclassing?

yea in that case Mobley is #1

this is probably a good thing, too much talent was at the top, good to spread it out to 22.

I don't get the Todd love, he is largely fine, but just that, fine, if he were that skilled and had real stud size I'd buy in more

He is just a guy

yeah i think he identified that and said the same. If the OAD rule goes away as expected all he'd really have to compete with in 22 would be Bates at the moment.

there is skill there just not much in terms of identity so i get what you're saying. If he could lock in and say "this is what i am" as an archetype then it would be easier to go all in for some but the kid is skilled. Good size for a faceup four, can handle, shoot, his passing is solid. Can be better at bigman things if he isn't going to be a 3 in the league. But i wouldn't say there isn't skill there to work with and possibly build from.

disagree, he is quite skilled, legit 3 level scorer, can put the ball on the floor, pretty good passing big and not just the open pass but can actually create, even has some pull up ability to his game.

also not sure what u mean by stud size, he's a true 4 IMO and he's gonna come in at 6-10 and at least a 7-1 or 7-2 wingspan, that's plenty fine for the 4.

What's your guys thoughts on Patrick Baldwin? Looks like a legit 6'10 now and is a legit sharp shooter. Not sure he has the length or athleticism to be a great NBA guy though.

from what I've seen he's pretty solid, good height and a jumper but yeah i'm with you on not quite knowing what he is at the NBA level. He'll hit the league but i don't think he's staying in front of or banging with anyone at either of the positions he would potentially play. A potential Ant Tolliver type i guess as it currently stands. Need more time to see how he develops though.

Re-can't on that Ant Tolliver take, maybe more along the lines of Marvin Williams.

Ya I kind of have a Trey Lyles feeling with him. I think he's a better player than Lyles at the same stage and the better shooter. But I feel like he can face the same issues Lyles has faced in the league which has prevented him from being a consistent rotation player. Doesn't have the quickness or strength to consistently create space and doesn't have the length or athleticism to be an impactful defender.

Trey is a good one too but there can be a niche for those types if they're in the right situation. Baldwin could be a Bertans in the right spot perhaps.
