2021 Draft Lottery

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Mobley is an excellent shot blocker, that much is clear. I wish that video showed him playing on the floor more. Assuming the Cavs re-sign Allen, Mobley would be playing the 4 here, which means covering stretches and playing out on the floor more. He looks very agile against college centers, but how will he fare against NBA PF’s?
 
Last report I heard he is headed back overseas and already has a nice contract waiting for his signature.
Also Wojo reported the Cavs are seriously looking at pursuing McDermont in FA
That was The Bullshit Whisperer saying that, so I wouldn't take it seriously until someone else reports it. They can make him restricted by extending him a $2M qualifying offer, so they could match any NBA offer.
 
Something I could see as possible is the Cavs taking Mobley at 3, Barnes being taken at 5, then the Cavs trading Mobley for Barnes and 8. Whether that could actually happen obviously depends on 1) the Cavs really liking enough guys that they consider Barnes and 8 a good deal, and 2) Orlando being obsessed with Mobley. I have no idea if either of those things is true.

I could see it happening but I actually think who is there at #8 is what makes or breaks the deal. If the Cavs and Magic both like Mobley and Barnes and would take them regardless of the trade, I think the talks heat up when #7 is on the clock.

For the Cavs to trade down and give up Mobley, I think it has to be we get the two guys we really want at both #5 and #8. If the BPA at #8 is just another guy that creates fit issues, it's really doesn't help roster building.

It doesn't happen often but I think some of these international players can use international offers as leverage to have their team give them a better offer. I'm not sure Hartenstein will get that many offers from NBA teams especially as a RFA. They have to sell that it's a real threat and they will go play outside the NBA.
 
I listen to this last night and the biggest thing I came away with is Jalen Green hasn't been measured in 2 years. Chad Ford said he measure in at 6'3.5 then and he said Jalen Green's agent is saying he is close to 6'6 now but they haven't got confirmation on any of his measurables.

He's definitely 6'5+ in shoes
 
Has there been any official measurements for Mobley recently? Is he really a legit 7-footer?
 
I really love Mobley. He’s my number 1 pick this draft. His lack of strength currently causes him to get outperformed in the post but I’m not worried. His height increased about 8 inches in the past couple years and usually your weight doesn’t increase during this period. There are many big guys who get tall but they look skinny. Love his foot movement though. His passing is underrated and his shooting is gonna get better. Once he gets to the NBA, I believe he has the work ethic to even be better and his ceiling can be a star. Cannot wait til Thursday.
 
I think Mobley scares teams because he is essentially a 7'1 big wing in shoes. It's freaky the way he moves at that height.
