I don't really see how Mobley is better than Wiseman. They have about the same quickness and Wiseman seems like he has a better vertical. Wiseman has better handles and shoots better. They both suck in the post, they both have no clue how to play defense. Mobley has better hands and touch.

Mobley’s movement you can tell he’ll be able to guard the perimeter, he’ll be ad like where you can play him at the 4 or 5 and his touch is unreal. He can also read the game much better than wiseman and isn’t just posting up all the time and getting in the way. I think Mobley could play the 4 next to wiseman so it doesn’t really matter

I like them both. They just seem neck and neck in overall talent.

I'm liking this Suggs dude. He reminds me of Klay with more bounce.

Klay? In which way? They have entirely different profiles. Klay is one of the best shooters ever, Suggs is below average. Meanwhile Suggs' strengths are athleticism and playmaking, not exactly what Klay is known for. Klay is one of the best off-ball players in the league, Suggs projects to be an on-ball guy (and possibly off-ball cutter). On defense, Klay plays very sound whereas Suggs plays more aggressively and relying on athleticism (for the better or worse).

Yep.

Suggs is great, but nothing like Klay.

well I only saw makes because it was a highlight video and his form looked like Klay's, plus they're both light-skinned brothas!

The top 6 in this draft are ridiculous. If we get one of them for D-Lo it will be the steal of the century.

Current top 6, who are easily above the rest in my opinion:

1) Green - I probably have him higher than most, but he's got top level superstar potential. He's the guy I want to fall to us if we land a pick at 4-6.
2) Cade - Consensus number 1... no shot we get Cade but he's awesome.
3) Mobley - I really don't see him dropping out of top 3, so like above, he's awesome but we likely can't get him.
4) Kuminga - Probably should be Suggs here.... but I love the potential of Kuminga as a PF in the modern NBA.
5) Suggs - insane that someone as good as Suggs could be outside the top 3.
6) Johnson - kind of stuck between the top tier of the 5 above him, but in my mind clearly above everyone else. I'd be very happy landing him even if I'd be disappointed in missing out on Green/Kuminga/Suggs who I think would be the picks in play if we got lucky enough to have a 4-6 pick.

Just watched some Chris Duarte clips after being amazed at his numbers. Turns out he's 24 on draft day so doubt anyone picks him 1st or maybe even 2nd round....

But oh man he looks like my early favorite for a 2way contract next year. Plug and play JTA type of player from day 1.

[ChuckDurn]

Jalen Johnson is really good. The top-5 seems pretty locked-in as Cunningham, Mobley, Suggs, Green, and Kuminga in some order, but Johnson is easily my #6. Super-skilled, smooth, does everything well (though he needs to improve his shooting, from deep and at the line).

Right now, if we end up with the Wolves’ pick, I’ve extended my “comfort zone” that we’ll get a good player out to pick #6, to include Johnson. Previously it was only at #5.....

This is exactly where i'm at right now. Top 5 is the "star" range, but 6 is Jalen and he is well ahead of everyone else. It's top 6 or bust for me.

Opinions on Moses Moody? He seems like a potential fit, and also someone we might get with the T-Wolves pick if it's not #4 or #5?

[Mylie10]

Not feeling Moody at this point. I'm in a great head space. lol sorry

[shazam_guy]

You should be sent to your room for that.

Moody’s a good prospect, but not in the top-10. If the Warriors end up with a pick in the 14-20 range (with their own pick, which is top-20 protected), he’s somebody to look at in that range. But not in the range where it looks like the Wolves’ pick would end up.

[shazam_guy]

I've seen more than a few mock drafts with Moody from 7 to 9. I don't claim to know that much about him, but 14-20 might be a bit low.

[MastermindLV]

Kuminga looks elite. Doubt he makes it out of the top 3

Feel like our pick (if we get it) will come down to Suggs or Green

I’d be fine with Suggs. Just have to hope someone falls in love with greens athleticism and someone can drop.

If we keep our own first, Boston or Wagner might be available there. Moody and Springer are mocked around 10-12.
But if we get the Wolves' early 2nd instead, it's possible that everyone in your T3 will be gone, except for maybe Lewis or Prkacin.
