Combination of elite scoring upside and his athleticism >>

Sticky thread

Interesting

What kind of player do you think Suggs and Mobley will be at their peak?

first one already off

Eh

Oof @ Cade #2

Oof @ Mobley #3

Look, I love Green and I agree that he is a special talent in terms of his athleticism and scoring ability. I even agree that he is a better prospect rn than Anthony Edwards was at this point last year when he was coming out. But I also think people are hyping him up a bit too much (if they're putting him over guys like Cade and Mobley). Green just doesn't have the vision and feel for the game or skills outside of scoring that make him that ultra elite prospect that BOTH Cade and Mobley are in my eyes.

Also, while the skill level in the G League is obviously higher as a whole than NCAA is, the NCAA teams that Cade and Mobley played against were MUCH more structured defensively. There's millions of dollars that go into coaching and scouting in the NCAA, so even if the talent wasn't as high, the defensive schemes made to stop Cade and Mobley were way more sophisticated and the defenses had way more chemistry than the G League ones Green played against.

Good opinions good thread

U got my support big brother

I have top 4 as:
1. Cade - tall high iq, does it all, good body, oozes smooth powerful talent
2. Mobley - 5 that's defensive potential is as high as his offensive, top D
3. Suggs - dog, has it all, competes, attacks, smart and always makes right play
4. Green - professional bucket getter, bounce, finish, creates, defence is possible ?

I can see some teams taking Green at 2 however, the potential is there.

Next 5-10:
5. Kuminga - not sure bout him; crazy body, makes terrible decisions, could be riding athletic ability and stall at pro level, still a beast
6. Moody - 6'6, big hands, nice shot, savvy,
7. Bouknight - Pure scorer, jump shot will develop, good ft%, cant pass
8. Mitchell - 1 great year, competitor, great shooting, dog
9. Jones - Talent ooze, raw, high ceiling low floor
10. Christopher - athletic, bounce, bucket getter, would be higher rated if he had more consistent season

Next 11-20
11. Barnes - Athletic, big hands, long, finisher at rim, dont like him otherwise. Bad shot, low ft%. Could develop
12. Giddey - playmaker with size, weird shot
13. Sengun - 6'10 240lbs good post moves, passer, defensive questions, good stats
14. K.Johnson - defensive upside, great athlete, strong finisher, limited
15. Jackson - High energy, top rim protector, blocks,
16. Duarte - pro 3 level scorer, older, has child, well rounded
17. Williams - Long, body, flashes Swiss army knife, meh season, shoot issues
18. Garuba - defence beast, wingspan, nice passing inside,
19. Primo - long guard, creates off dribble, nice shot, sga, levert type
20. Cooper - crazy playmaking highlights, good feel to run point, shooting needs work

Next 21-30
21. McBride - good handle, motor, defensive instinct, dog
22. Kispert - cracker, long hair, head bands, shoots 3s, no defence
23. J. Johnson - huge wing, athletic, shoot no bueno, might be a b****ass
24. Prkacin - raw, scoring ability, post game, defence is ?
25. Springer - good shooter, mid range,
26. Mann - good feel, good shot, makes plays, limited defence, great shake off the dribble
27. Thor - 7'3 wingspan, D beast, moves fast
28. Lawson - bouncy wing, athletic, gets buckets, iffy shot
29. Thomas - Bucketsssss
30. Todd - tall 4, elite in HS, high scoring/offensive skills, low iq, kinda weird development
31. Murphy III - Smart, good shooter, versatile, potential riser
32. BJ Boston - Scoring upside, long, scorer, didn't meet hype
33. Hyland - deep shooter, quick, decent sg

Suggs is a hard one to gauge, he has a bit of Dame in his playstyle. He's sneakily very athletic, has tons of bounce and is very very good off the ball, probably just as good off it as he is on. Also a very good defender. His ball security gives me pause though, he can be pretty sloppy with the ball at times but he plays with extremely high energy on both ends. I think he's a multiple time all star for sure.

Mobley's offensive skillset is pretty limited as of right now. He's essentially a Clint Capela-esque rim runner who can shoot the occasional jumper, but he has a lot of room for growth on that end. Defensively he's nothing short of elite, he can guard the perimeter and the paint at a very high level. Great shot blocker and he's super mobile for a 7 footer, great switchability. I think he's a really good guy to have on your roster - may not have the star power of Green, Cunningham, and Suggs, but he's going to be a very solid player and will almost certainly be the anchor of a defense right out of the gate

Although I don't think Cade is #1, I don't have a problem with people who put him there. What I have a problem with is people who think he's far and away better than Green. Green has a scoring bag that no one else in this class possesses, he's an elite shot creator that can carry a team for long stretches of a game. Cade is too passive for my liking - the talent is absolutely there, and yes I think he's a franchise cornerstone type of player, but I don't think he can be the go-to guy on a championship team whereas I do believe Green can be that guy.

Also my love for Mobley is pretty well noted. He's one of my top 3 favorite prospects in this class but I just can't put him higher than 3 because of how raw his offensive skillset is at this point. I think he's the best defender in the draft by a pretty wide margin
