IDk but he's definitely my 5th option. I like how nimble he is though.

As long as we land top 5 I'm happy.

Forget bigs, this is a game of guards/wings. Cunningham/Suggs/Kuminga/Green over Mobley every time. Even Jalen Johnson

Agreed - of course there are exceptions, but in today's game even really good bigs are essentially role players. I think you gotta prioritize on ball creators.

I think Mobley will be a good player, maybe even a star. But it's easier for one of the guards to make an impact in this league. I'd love to have Mobley AND one of the guards of course, but that's a pipedream.

If we end up with a top 5 pick, I really hope we end up with a dynamic wing player. Those are the types of players you need to win a championship.

For anyone interested, Jalen Suggs and Evan Mobley both have games later today. I’ll try to catch some of their games to get a closer look at them

Yep, thats what me and some other posters are saying. I'm thinking Kuminga is that guy but who knows there may be other players that come up later in the season.

I'd hope to get Mobley and could take a smaller player in the 20's if can trade for a pick. Ayo Dusonmu, Rokas Jokubaitis, Daishen Nix, Jared Butler.

I buy that comp! I would take him over others that could become Melo, Wade, Bosh, DRose, Brandon Roy. Maybe Kuminga is Kawai 2.0, maybe not.

For me it goes Cade, Green, Kuminga, Suggs and then Mobley for the raptors. Green is projected to go 4th/5th so I'm higher on him than most.

He looks awkward to you? Really?

I don't see anything awkward about the way he moves, I think he looks unbelievable in terms of mobility. He has a face up game, he has range, he can pass, he'll back you down low, has some nice hook shots even. I really like Mobley and I usually don't like bigs that much (although I really liked Jaren Jackson in 2018).

He's skinny, sure, he definitely needs to add weight. But that will come naturally over time and hopefully not at the expense of his mobility.

His potential is crazy but my only fear is given how thin he is right now, how would he look if/when he puts on some weight. And I also fear him being injury prone like Embiid or even Oden
