"I would always take the perimeter player over the defense-first big man."

There is an ignorant take. Mobley is a defense-first big man who can also score--easily. Defense is 1/2 of basketball. People forget that.

He clearly lost ROTY because people didn't see a difference between his and Scotties defense.

Scottie wasn't positive on the floor. Pretty basic

Plus Mobley got hurt the last week or so of the season. Plus this voters don’t know wtf they were thinking. Mobley should have been the roy

Yeah and almost everything I have seen since then has Mobley above Scottie

I just read a 2021 redraft article that had him at #3. I almost fell out if my chair when I read that.

Cade tho. They are trying so hard to make him the next Luka but I think he is closer to a Joe Johnson. Certainly a nice player, but not a franchise 1

I like that comp. Obviously a more willing passer but the game lines up.

We should be thankful for this mindset. It's why Mobley was available at pick #3.

I think Mobley is the only #1 on a championship team from the draft. But Scottie Barnes is 100% a #2 championship type. While Mobley is a Duncan at his ceiling, Barnes reminds me of a different Scottie,....Pippen.

I really love Barnes's game.

Scottie was my favorite wing prospect since the goat Anthony Randolph. I was hoping we would grab him expecting Mobley to be gone, but you know what? Not upset at all about this

I really love Barnes too. Just a dog with an infectious win by any means attitude.
