NBA Draft 2021
Man I could even keep going with that nonsense..
To me my eye test, and even using his steals plus block per 40 test from that video, I see him most directly comparable as a defensive prospect to Chris Bosh. He does a few things differently, he’s slightly more athletic for example, but less of a post presence. He’s a more modern version of him. He gets a 4.3 on that steal and block measurement compared to Bosh 4.1, Bosh actually gets more defensive boards than him lol, scores more, shoots better from 2, from 3, from the FT.
Chris Bosh had the same “well he blocks a few shots, he’s long and athletic, he moves well” etc where people assumed that could make him a great defender next level as well. But **** nobody was making videos calling him Hakeem smh.. Chris Bosh never once made an All-Defensive team, never became a decent shot blocker.. he played a HUGE role in defending in space for Miami, and should get massive amounts of credit for that, but even that was largely dependent on and only worked because 1.) LeBron switched 1-5, 2.) LeBron was capable of being the teams best rebounder, 3.) Miami was willing to keep guys like Joel Anthony and Birdman on their roster even though they likely wouldn’t play for any other team much less contenders because Chris Bosh couldn’t defend the post or protect the rim. Jaren Jackson has been a better shot blocker with injuries and limited minutes, and forced to play the 4 in a small ball league, for the Grizzlies than Bosh became at any single point of his career. Jackson who also obliterates this dude Mobley in the stat used to label Mobley as an elite defender in this video. Jackson is so far from AD defensively it’s a joke, yet this dude draw a comparison?
This dude trying to label Mobley as AD based on the reasoning in this video is worse than the people calling Zion LeBron after making 2 bounce passes in the open court..
Like he’s more mobile than Bosh, than Jackson even, a bit more athletic too, but this “he’s a 7 foot guard” crap is nonsense. His defensive numbers are not off the chart or even close if you pit him against those other guys playing the same minutes, or actually compare him against elite defenders, he doesn’t dominate the glass, he doesn’t shoot well from anywhere, doesn’t pop off the chart as a good scorer - especially for the lengths this guy went to in order to say his teammates were trash, and especially for the minutes he played.
Jaren Jackson per 40 - 20/11/5.5 blocks 60/40/80% shooting splits
Mobley per 40 - 19/10/3.4 blocks - 60/30/69% shooting splits
I agree he’s a better prospect than Jackson, mostly due to athleticism, but he doesn’t look as strong, nearly as good of a perimeter threat as a shooter, or high of a basketball IQ%.. His biggest calling card to being looked as better than Jackson is athleticism, MAYBE his ball handling and stuff but this is a league that likely wants no part of him handling the ball. And it doesn’t look that impressive regardless.. Dude called him Joker with defense SMFH.
And I can only imagine how silly AD’s numbers would look compared to his if he went somewhere like USC and wasn’t 4th on the team in shot attempts. Completely different stratosphere defensively. 13 boards and 6 blocks per 40 as well.
