I love Mobley’s game. Looks like a better version of Christian Wood.

Maybe not as good from 3, but better everywhere else.

If the Pistons fall to the 6th pick, and he's available fine. No way in hell do I select him if I'm top 3. No way, no how.

Mobley is an elite prospect (obviously). But, I'd probably pick him after Cade, Suggs and Green. Elite perimeter talents create so much havoc in today's game.

Pretty much this. Unless you look like the next Jokic or Embiid, greater scrutiny towards the center/PF prospect is absolutely warranted.

Guys like Green or Cade are arguably more future proof in the current climate of the NBA

Are you talking about Mobley being a 3rd option glue guy?
I'm not THAT down on him.

No I was talking about Wagner

He and Wood are nothing alike though.

Michigan might just win it all. They are just in sync as a team. My money is still on Gonzaga but Michigan is right up there

The NBA decided you cant foul perimeter players. Going around a screen quickly and raising your arms gets a shot off and 90% of the time, free throws.

Big men still get slapped, pushed, fouled regularly.

Until that changes, guys like Luka or Lebron are key. Bigger wing that handle the ball, gets tons of foul shots, but still big enough to be strong, see over shorter guys, high shot that cant be blocked easily, can go through contact when driving.

The game protects that kind of big wing the most, so choose the best of that kind of guy.

Cade already looking great, just had a awesome transition pull up contested 3

Vintage performance from Cade. Not just with scoring but facilitating as well making some beautiful passes. He's getting more assertive as the season wears on and is quite simply a big time player in the clutch, his team has gotten a lot better too later in the season. They could make a Final 4 run.

I really like Jalen Green but man Cade is showing out now. that step back 3 was nasty

MotownMadness · Post #613 » by **MotownMadness** » Sat Mar 13, 2021 1:33 pm

Mobley with 26pts, 9rebs and 5blks last night. That's back to back 26, 9 and 5 games

Cade is like a Tatum with better playmaking.

He does kinda remind me of Tatum or maybe less athletic Penny Hardaway/Grant Hill

rmfc · Post #616 » by **rmfc** » Sat Mar 13, 2021 2:44 pm

From the highlights, Jalen Green looks like a more athletic/guard version of Jerami Grant.

Didn't think Oklahoma State would beat Baylor but Cade is the man. Now just beat Texas tonight at 6pm and get the Big 12 Championship.

Michigan vs Ohio State semifinal is today at 1pm as well.

His jumpshot is legit along with rim protection

I’m sure this guy doesn’t get spoken about much, and with our current lack of need at the PG position I’m sure he doesn’t end up with the Pistons.

Ignoring my hometown bias I just want to put it out there that this guy should be a lottery pick, and sadly (for us) will probably forge a better career than Hayes.

Check him out if you’ve got time.

He looks better or just as good as Lamelo did playing in this league. Has so much poise and is only 18.
