Mobley is gonna be a beast

I think he’ll win ROY easily.

I'm not sure about "easily"

There are other aspects to the game other than just scoring. Mobley is already dominating on the defensive end. Let’s wait until the end of the season when he wins the ROY, easily by a landslide. That’s how good he is.

I like that the refs are letting them play more this year. Those weak touch fouls were stupid. I’m seeing much better officiating this far this year.

It's definitely having an effect on the overall scores and players numbers.

 

[AldoTrapani]

This was the dude Olshey should have been drooling over during the zach collins draft..

Can you imagine him playing with Dame and Cj. This was the one

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Good for Gary! (We're happy with Norman at the moment, though.)

I love Mobley, and in general believe that he (or Scottie Barnes) will very likely be the best player 5 years in (remembering that Mighty Mouse won ROY easily over Kevin Garnett and Rasheed), but let's let Cade Cunningham at least play one game first...

What's surprising is Suggs' slow start. Maybe playing next to Cole "Ball hog" Anthony is holding him back?

He's another one that I was underwhelmed by last year. I could definitely see the potential, but he looked a few years away from being ready. I wouldn't expect him to have a big impact this year.

Weird:

I agree with you.
I saw that list organized by scoring and was like… No, no, noooo.
Mobley is SPECIAL on defense and isn’t a complete nutcase on offense.
Bosh 2.0

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Congrats LaMarcus! In a just world he would have been congratulated by his teammates Brandon Roy and Greg Oden on the 5-time champion Trail Blazers.

It’s up.

Wizards looks like a playoff team

 

[MickZagger]

I dunno Bulls got a pretty talented roster…

Little Mo with the gimpy leg?

 

[MickZagger]

Lots of low scoring games this year with new officiating changes. I don’t mind though. Let them play

 

[Rastapopoulos]

DJJr had a good game - and against Utah, no less:

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Detroit finally won a game! And Cade Cunningham played! Although these two things weren't much related - Detroit went on a run with Cory Joseph at the point, and Cade shot like shit (but also made several hustle plays).

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Robin Lopez and wife.

 

[PCmor7]

 

[Natebishop3]

That dude is gonna be Oliver Miller in a few seasons.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Robin Lopez and wife.

Wow! Robin makes a great Penguin!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Not saying they’ll win the title but I wouldn’t be surprised if they get the #1 seed in the East. They’re deep as hell and have a superstar level #1 option.

Oliver Miller was good

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Looks like he is getting ready to tryout to be a lineman or tight end.

 

[DDolla]

Piston picked Cade Cunningham over Green, Mobley and Brooks? LOL
