Mobley at 2 eh? I am terrified of getting another non gamechanger if a big is picked.
No concerns over landing a dud bigman?

He's so talented though on both sides of the ball. He's worth the risk for sure.

If the Pistons pick him, I hope he pans out. Another Andre, or God forbid Darko and ill lose all hope.

Barnes getting bottled up right now. All of FSU looks sloppy.

No he's to skilled for that, unless he ends up with a weak motor.

Man, FSU looks rattled as hell.

Michigan didn’t even play well offensively. Way better than FSU though. They looked awful in the first half.

Yeah, Michigan just has to hit their shots; they're getting good looks.

Barnes has been total garbage on both ends.

He's not like these guys at all, they play completely different style of game.

My worry with Mobley isn't that he'll be a dud (I think he's a lock to be at minimum a good NBA starter), it's if he'll be a lead guy, go to option on a good team. Personally, I don't see that with him. He doesn't have the offensive skillset or assertiveness of a Jokic or Embiid but who knows, he can grow into that someday. With Mobley, it's all about projection not what he is now.

He's the 4th player on my board behind Cunningham, Suggs and Green. I might even take Kuminga over him because if he's exactly the physical prototype you want in a franchise player, a Leonard type, but he's just really raw at this point.
I just find it hard to justify taking a 7 footer in the top 3 unless he is really special offensively. You need an elite offensive player to win big in this league.

I want nothing to do with Scottie Barnes.

It's funny because out of all the players outside the top 5, I see him as the player Weaver would be highest on due to his length, versatility and athleticism but I agree with you, not a big fan.

Definitely looked like poop, and that was against mostly meh (but well-coached) athletes.

Lookin a lot like Stanley Johnson... not a compliment.

We need to end up in a spot at which Barnes isn’t an option, ie top five.

FSU as a team were out coached and out played in this game. That doesn’t fall solely on Barnes. He still possesses plenty of NBA talent.

Outside the top 5 I'm looking at Franz Wagner, trying to trade back to somehow get him and Zaire or Moses.

13, 10, 5 - such a high iq gamechanger

At 6, I’m looking at Cam Thomas

At 6 I'm probably just looking to trade back and grab someone like this. The Scottie Barnes and Jalen Johnson types just don't do it for me.
