Jalen Suggs vs. Jalen Green

Suggs was the guy I followed for a good part of the college season and so I'd be totally fine if that's who we end up with.

Green is the guy whose YouTube highlight videos I couldn't stop watching. He's the guy I want.

Hey Demar wanted to stay, and he was a California boy. Who knows?

Mobley at $7 mil to $10 mil next 4 years let’s us keep and add to core and balance team.

horrible idea.

Not worth the assets you'd have to give up.

Suggs, Mobley and Green are so close together you just take what you can get

Houston makes the most sense for Green. Need someone to replace Harden. Maybe Cleveland screws up and goes for Kuminga or Barnes over Mobley. But I doubt that.

Really don't see Green slipping to #4

I prefer Green because he has elite scoring potential and that's exactly what the Raps need - a go to scorer who can score it from every spot on the floor.

But it's like picking between two supermodels. Hard to go wrong.

Cost to trade up from 4 to 2 would be much more than that unless Houston really likes someone not predicted to go top 3, but to go #4 which is unlikely. They could get a ransom for #2 to move down to #5 and probably want Mobley themselves anyway. A more likely trade partner is OKC who needs to consolidate assets. I would absolutely trade down from #4 to #6 and pick up another mid first rounder

If Cade, Mobley and Suggs are gone, I would guess: Barnes.

Book it.

I like Barnes, but passing on Green for him is a giant reach that's likely to backfire

I don't see it as impossible for Mobley falling to 4.

Either

What's the reasoning for Rockets and Cavs to pass on him?

Wood and Allen

or they think Green is better

I guess this is the good thing about having the #4 pick in what's considered a four-player draft especially after jumping from #7. Grateful for any of these 3.

I want Green, but it will likely be Suggs. Still happy we jumped into Top 4 though.

Suggs is awesome, does everything you need from a pg and i think his ceiling is very underrated. 6'4 and athletic and the form on his jumpshot is nice. Think he can be an elite player

If #2 or #3 likes someone other than Mobley they may want to trade with OKC who will probably offer a lot.

personally I don't see both Houston and Cleveland passing on Green. I also don't think both pass on Mobley, but there's a slim chance it could happen.

This is the space where FVV might get you there. Fred and a future first for your chosen guy while they stay in the top 4. The Rockets can keep trading down after if they want. Rebuilding their team quick.

He shows incredible basketball IQ with good blocks and incredible steals for a big on the defensive end in a tough league as one of the youngest players in the draft. I'm not sold he won't be at least passable on the defensive end.

Who do we get at #4
