Mobley and Wiseman are not the same at all, Mobes is a legit top 5 pick, Wiseman should never have been

I had Wiseman as a better Whiteside and I think Mobley is a Tim Duncan-level prospect

A long, very steady 22/12 with 1.5 blocks type of career, solid two-way player

Mobley looks to me to be barely over 6'9" w/out shoes. People really need to stop calling him a 7 footer. He's in the same mold as Bosh, JJJ, and Isaac. I like him a lot but he's most likely going to be a great #3, maybe a low end #2, rather than a #1. That's not a slight. Most teams have a #1 and even a #2 so him becoming the Final piece of a potential Big Three will have him drafted high.

He doesn't look 7 foot to me either.

lol Mobley is not 6-9...Onyeka is 6-9 and Mobley CLEARLY has a couple of inches on him:

Hes probably a solid 6'11 but he doesn't ever stand out on the court in height like a true 7 footer would

What does that change for you draft wise?

Nothing, just something I've always felt when seeing him out there.

im not touching him in the top 3 unless a championship caliber team like the warriors were a center away from winning multiple.
Centers bust way too much look at Bamba, Okongwu they werent that far off and barely making an impact.
AD, Embiid were the only guaranteed superstar that was worth picking. Even KAT never had this offense he had bust factor.

I compare him to KAT in terms of physical traits and offensive skill but he's a more complete player who can excel defensively as well. I even have to throw out the ridiculous Tim Duncan comparison due to the fact you can't make him play fast and he's always even keeled.

Yeah hope you be the gm for wizards only to lose your job in a month im not gambling my entire career for a center prospect.
Cade even if he busts you could save your job and is nba meta way safer bust wise.

Okongwu has played 6 games. We're calling bust after 6 games?

Two way Cs are unicorns nowadays. I also avoid group think like a plague because it's usually wrong. I like Cade but no, I'm not locked on him as the best player in the draft like most are.

6-11.5 with a 7-4 wingspan 3 years ago! He was still 16 at the time.

I'm not sure if this is good news or bad. It suggests that he's probably at least 7-feet by now, if not taller. But it also suggest that he hasn't grown much in 3 years, yet he still hasn't filled out much either.

clyde21 · Post #195 » by **clyde21** » Thu Feb 11, 2021 7:12 pm

players like Mobley don't really fill out until they are like 23-24 years old, that's not a concern at all. i'd actually be more concerned about him as a prospect if was ALREADY filled out.

Post #196 » by **Marcus** » Thu Feb 11, 2021 7:17 pm

he's got that KG KD frame where the weight and strength will come on but they won't ever look much bigger than what you see now. I'm still on board with his willingness to bang, he doesn't play like he weigh but he's still smart enough to skill his way through the matchups when appropriate.

yea, he's wiry strong, good core, and you're right he'll never look like David Robinson and he doesn't need to

KG had a way bigger frame than Mobley

Garnett had wider shoulders, don't see him having the same frame as Garnett, more like a Duncan or Myles Turner frame
