2021 NBA Draft Safari

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Where did you hear that? I thought I heard (maybe from Zach Lowe's podcast??) the expectation around the league is for the draft to be held at some point in late July. The lottery is typically held during the second round of the playoffs, which would be sometime in June.
Wojo reported that the combine would late October and the draft was 11/18/21
 
Mobley single-handedly keeping USC in this one. Love his mobility, unselfishness, and touch. Extremely impressive prospect. He may be in a tier of his own at the top of the class.
 
@Nathan S , maybe Mobley is just the type of guy who gets a bit bored at lower levels of competition. That was his knock in high school and even at times throughout the season, but he's looked like the #1 overall guy this tournament so far with the way he's demanding for the ball and scoring.
 
Evan Mobley is showing every tool in his toolbox tonight. He went from attacking decisively off the catch for several minutes to back to back assists on cross court passes, then locked up Colorado's star pg on a switch.

Can't think of a better game by a prospect on both ends this year. Mobley is dominating every single possession. I've been so impressed with his quick decision-making when he gets the pass out of the PNR.
 
He's the clearest future franchise player with the highest ceiling in this draft. Been my #1 since I found myself glued to the the screen watching a whole USC vs Cal Irvine game early in the season.

I keep coming back to this...

He's better than Bosh at the same point in time in their development.

He's a NBA pedigree prospect, only scratching the surface of how good he can be and he's guaranteed to approach the league like a pro because his dad was a veteran who raised him and his brother on pro ball checks.

I wanted him in December before we got Allen and now I think he would be a game changing matchup problem next to him as a 4/5 that only teams with two seven footers who can play at the same time could counter (Brooklyn w KD, Memphis when JJJ comes back)

He's going to be one of the first two picks so I'm not 100% sure we need to win the lottery to get him. I'm silently really hoping Cade has a crazy March so some GM has visions of him being the perimeter guy he can build around (I don't think he is, but winning the B12 tourney and showing really well in the tourney could sell him)

I'd be willing to explore trading up from 4-8 to 1-2 to get Mobley, that's how bullish I am on him being the best franchise player AND fit for our recent lottery picks in this draft.

I'm going to shut up about him now so I don't jinx it.

1. Mobley
2. Kuminga
3. Barnes

For my Cavs wishlist as of now.

We can't be running two skinny dudes as our front line warriors. We will get ridiculed by the entire NBA!
