What we know so far about 3rd year Mobley.
Biggest strength: switchable defense
He has a down year which can be attributed with injuries, but at his best, he is a game changer defensively. I expect him to be back as a top 3 defender next year.
Slightly above average skill: short roll play maker
Mobley is good in not holding the ball too long in short roll actions. Finds the open kick out most of the time and the big to big passing between him and Allen is a weapon. It is just disappointing to see Mobley abandon his floater and his spin to the right fadeaway which was part of his repertoire during his rookie year. He needs to find those skills back to make him a more dynamic player off the roll.
Developing skill: catch and shoot 3
In no way he is a good shooter right now but he has shown willingness to let it fly. The power transfer, footwork, and form is still inconsistent but the makes have generally looked good. There is something workable here.
What he’s not: a scorer
He does not have the natural skill/talent to become a go to scorer. He is not a Wemby or a Chet who has dribble combos, shooting touch and coordination that is unheard of with their size. But he can build off off the skills he has. Pattern his game to Green(minus the antics) or Adebayo. All reports say he works hard, I’m sure he will get there eventually.
