I kind of feel like they ask too much from Mobley on D (this is probably true of Allen as well) but it's because our guards are often absolutely horrendous at D. The amount of times a game he has to try to cover someones ass is pretty absurd really. He's nearly good enough to actually pull it off a lot of the times, but it's pretty garbage scheme and coaching. I guess you hope he gets mad at some point and gives the guards (other than Okoro) some serious shit for how often they screw up.
 
He showed some nice offensive flashes in the first half. Then I wasn't focusing on him too much, but did he even play the second half? He was pretty much a non-factor when nobody was stepping up while the game was being lost.
 
If Phil Handy was still with the Cavs he would hate that wide stance and try to change it even if he was shooting 39% from 3.
The wide stance imo is the result of lack of lower body strength. His legs are toothpick. Needs to strengthen that base in order to be a consistent shooter and be better finishing through contact.
 
can he play the 3
He cant even dribble the ball without turning his back to the defender. Don't even look at the basket when he gets the ball on the perimeter. Does not have the footwork for a decent catch and shoot.

He's a center. Making him a player different from his natural ability will be another set back for his already lack of development.

The problem with this is that Mobley has stated he doesn't think himself a center nor a back to the basket offensive big, which makes me scratch my head because that is how he actually plays.

But does he really???? I would argue the opposite. You just don't see it due to under usage.
