So few of these guys are actually threats to take over a game and win it by "banging" in the post. Embiid, Towns, AD when he's in the right mood, maybe Bam is getting there. Jokic is awesome but muscling guys in the post is not his game. The rest of these guys? Come on, Kanter? You don't game plan for Kanter. I don't see a lot of matchups I'm worried about here, and when you do have to deal with Embiid you've got Allen.Mobley doesnt have the strength to guard about half the centers in the league and he might never really have that strength. His shot is developing, and I agree PF need a good 3 point shot these days typically. But Giannis, Zion, Draymond, all PF who shoot about the same from 3 right now and are top 10 PF's.
Mobley shot 30% last year from 3, and is working on the shot, he will be fine in a couple of years from distance. But I just dont see him being able to guard the Jokic, Vucevic, Valacunas, Lopez, Adams, Nurkic, Howard, Kanter, Bam, Towns, Gobert, Embiid and so on of the world. Maybe I am wrong and he can guard them some day, but i just see his shot developing being more likely than him adding enough size and strength to guard those guys.
Maybe both happens, we will see.
I think Mobley is going to be able to defend pretty much everyone other than the very biggest bigs and the fastest guards. In a small sample he looks like he's basically there already. Not bad for one guy!
