Kid's gonna be impossible to stop if he can get a consistent shot from the elbow as it seems he can get that whenever he wants.
word on Lebron tonight? Guessing he gives it a go. Kind of hope he does...not because I assume the cavs win if he doesn't but want to see how their D looks against a top tier team at full strength (or close).
As a defender he has the chance to have Simmons like impact. He’s so fucking long and he has exceptional feet that will allow him to play switches and eventually even guard a team’s best player regardless of position. Love this kid. Cavs got a good one.
Not ready to say I'd take him #1 in a redraft but wouldn't bother me at all if they did. Gotta see Cade first, too.
Yep that is the only thing I have noticed. I feel like he has a good matchup but he is a little tenative. Hope he starts being more aggressive. It's like he can go on a spurt where he can whatever he wants then just kinda goes missing on offense. Again, not a strong complaint and he is still extremely young, I'm sure he will come into his own. A lot of young guys do the same.
Yeah whether he would go #1 in a redraft is something different and probably won't know for awhile but he seems to be exactly what the cavs NEEDED. Crazy to think bc they needed shooting and/or a wing but he completely changes this defense. He can defend like a wing though, a top tier wing.
So true. Keep saying it's early as really is just a handful of games but who'd have thunk another 7 footer might help us more than a wing like Cade or Green? Isn't to say one of those guys (or someone else) wont be better than Mobley but you are right in how much he changes the defense and what we are able to do. He could guard anyone on the block. Play up high in a zone (which it seems he does a lot). Switch 1-5.
