It’s not fair to Mobley but I just can’t get the Marvin Bagley comparison out of my head. I wish he played with more emotion and aggressiveness.

Bagley is a bad comp. His problem is he can put up rebounding/point numbers without doing anything to effect winning. Poor individual and rim defender, poor passer, doesn’t space the floor, doesn’t seem to have a good BBIQ. Mobley is the exact opposite. You wish he shot more because he is an efficient scorer, but he does everything else well. Elite rim protector. For his size, elite man defender on the perimeter. Looks to have a decent outside shot or at least very projectable. Has good instincts on both ends. And for his size, very very good passer.
People say he’s passive. I get it. But he’s just got to learn to be more assertive. I think people forget that Anthony Davis only scored 14 points per game at Kentucky, and it often seemed that MKG was the alpha personality on that Kentucky team.
I think the better question is if we’re going with a two big look, do we want someone that is as thin as Mobley is. As much as I like him, I don’t think he’s going to bring a lot of physicality, at least early on.
