If Min gets the #1 pick I bet they take Mobley. I hope the pistons can get Cade but I think Mobley may have the highest upside of the prospects.

He does have the highest upside because of his size. he will be dominate on both end of the floor one day, but cade will have the early success.

They could take Cade and probably play him at the forward spot. He has the size to play there.

With how the NBA is now it'd be really hard to take a big over one of these elite wing prospects.

It's dominant, as in "He will be dominant on both ends of the floor." Dominate is a verb, as in "He will dominate on both ends of the floor."

Sorry, it's just becoming a pet peeve because I see "He will be dominate" written all the time now.

Jalen Green is #2 in this draft, I'd take him over Mobley.

Me too, this is a guard’s league. Plus Mobley was trash tonight.

Ya give me Cade or Green as well. I'm a horrible judge of talent lol and only saw literally one video of Mobley but he did not look otherworldly to me. Green and especially Cade look like next pistons all stars to me

Green has the look of the next all-world 2 gaurd ala Bryant/Jordan but as we've seen, that doesn't usually translate into that kind of success in the league. The most recent to give off those vibes was Wiggins and he is most definitely not in the mold of those two.

It's only a matter of time before another hits the league, and Green looks the most likely in this draft.

I'm probably in the minority but I'd take Mobley #5 behind Cunningham, Green, Suggs and Kuminga. Those are my top 4 in that order.

While Mobley has a lot of good traits and will be a top flite defender at the very least, I just don't see the assertiveness in his game to be a #1 option on a good team. The other 4 guys have that "dog" in them to be a lead guy on a team, I just don't see that in Mobley and it seems like I'm one of the few who isn't in love with his game. The Pistons need a lead guy, not a background character.

I still question his length to become a superstar. I think he will be good thought.

I've seen this a couple times and don't fully understand the sentiment. Bradley Beal is just over 6'3 with a 6'8 wingspan. Does Green have even less length than that?

As we say this and then have Mobley go off for 30 points on near flawless shooting in his next game and then the pendulum of opinions swings back the other way

But I agree with you, unless Mobley is the next Embiid, Jokic, Giannis (if you consider him a mobile 5), I don't really want him

I been felt this way, the NBA is all about perimeter play maybe he turns into AD but guards and wings own this league.
