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


We need a guy with potential to develop into a number one option. Barnes is not ever going to be that.

He gets these Draymond Green comparisons its like historically how many Draymond Greens has their been? He had a really weird skillset not many guys have played like him at his size and succeeded. I'm not trying to draft that type of guy in the top 5 or 6 in the lotto and hope its the next Draymond. Later on thats something you take a shot on. Even Green himself was a 2nd round pick.

Cam Thomas (6’4”, 210 lb SG) was the #4 leading scorer in the nation last season as a freshman while playing the the SEC.

Really good overall player. Can shoot, drive, pass and played solid D.

He’s getting overlooked in this draft class.

Man, Mobley is skinny. And he doesn't exactly have a frame that says he can bulk up much.

He sort of reminds me of Wayne Powell, but could be better!

Same. Didn't exactly show out in a big moment. Draftable? Sure. Top 10? Not if I'm the one making the decision.

I should say I was to quick to say I'm out on Green watching alot more tape and seeing how he improved I'm not out. I mean I don't see him as a MJ/Kobe type MVP twoway type 2 because he doesnt have the wingspan but he could be a Beal/Lavine type guy which is still good.

At the time of writing that I was higher on the other top 5 but now I see some more flaws in the other players so he looks like a better pick as well. I see his upside as more a #2 guy though if he gets there he wont be the type of dude who is a number 1 on a contender. Were going to need to get Emoni or Chet in a coming draft to go wth him if we miss out on Cade.

Oregon trying to deny Evan Mobely the ball all half, but he still has a decent halftime stat-line:

6 points (3-3 FGs), 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block

They actually play really good together whenever I get to watch them. But man they don't look like Brothers

Yeah hes doing fine. Hes not getting shots but their up 41-26. The guards are killing it I'm sure hes thrilled with whats hes done. If he did that the next half he would have 12 10 8 2 in a blowout.

Guards are hogging the ball what can he do? Thing is the coach isnt going to run stuff for Evan just to run it when the team is up this much in a tourney game. White and Eaddy are hot.

If I have to look at the stat line to convince myself he was impactful, I'm not interested.

Rim protection his best skill is always impactful. It doesnt always show up as blocked shots it can just be shot alterations or the opposing team just avoiding your area completely.

Mobley is another that will be so much better in the pro game. My only concern is him snapping in half.

You can see it in this game (and every game I've watched him), he's just not a primary offensive option. He's the only one in the top 5 who plays away from the ball most of the time offensively. This continues to be my biggest concern with him.

And I as I type this, he throws the ball down on some poor soul haha.
