Nah I called you out on a false statement.

“Has no idea what’s he’s doing on a basketball court like with a young Embiid.” Then calling it a little point.

Don’t double down back it up :)

Poor choice of words my man

Im clarifying to why you are wrong. And no it’s not a little point. If he had no idea he’d be Wisemanesque or have the Kelly Oubre/Sexton/Kuminga 2 cent aptitude for the game to him.


:lol: That’s funny. Well i don’t want you to lose any sleep over your overwhelming desire to be argumentative. You do you, man.


You’re embarrassingly wrong on Mobley.

If you think he “doesn’t know what he’s doing” you don’t know basketball. At all.

Child. I’ve been watching this game for 40 years. I’ve coached for years. I’ve forgotten more about this game than you know. Now run along and go play in the street, kid.

Yet you can’t admit to being wrong and belittle another poster and boost the ego via accomplishment in exchange for providing a baseless and false statement as cover.

Your right on one thing and that’s forgetting about the game. Probably the main avenue as to why you were wrong in the first place.

Giddey with a nice statline 18/8/6/4 . I thought he played really well, still has some lapses defensively but plays tough.

Nice to see Giddey and Green having good games

So far everyone who’s played in the top 6 has had a good game although Suggs wasn’t efficient in his (still good tho)

Davion playing like he has an axe to grind.

This Kings team is going to open some eyes this year.

What an amazing draft class...

I really do believe this draft class when it's all said and done will complete with some of the best draft classes ever.

You have Mobley, Green, and Barnes showing allstar potential.

Cade Cunningham hasn't even played

Suggs who hasn't gotten it going yet, but posses all the tools

Duarte showing he can be a lead guard

Giddey showing he's the real deal offensively

Wagner looking like a steal

This draft class is just loaded

Show where the the hypocrisy lies? If you look at the mirror there you will find it.

You’re currently batting 0-4, might want to actually apply some formulation of a point before anyone can actually have a logical discourse with you lol

Classic:

1. Dismiss
2. Ignorance/Arrogance
3. Belittle/conflation
4. Attack other persons character

Has nothing to do with the point itself, because there isn’t a position to stand on.

If you can’t defend your statement under little scrutiny then your statement is about as strong as it is isn’t.

I’d tell you to go kick rocks if you think that Mobley had no idea about basketball to save us both the time.

shout out to sengun, his numbers haven't been eye-popping or anything but consistently makes plays that show he has great anticipation and situational awareness. he stripped tatum on the perimeter and made a huge heads-up play:

What value do you add to this thread?

Anyway, nice to see all the rooks showing out!

Franz looking like a great role player already and anything else is a bonus. Suggs still struggling shooting but does so many things well that I have no doubt he'll figure it out.

Anyway Mobley is great and knows how to play basketball
