Evan Mobley was drafted one pick after Jalen Green in the 2021 NBA Draft. I was glad when the Rockets took Green but only because I prefer to draft shooting guards with Michael Jordan upside over frontcourt players who tend to bust often. But it didn’t take long for me to realize that Mobley wasn’t a bust. Mobley looked better than Green at the start of their NBA careers and probably at least for their first two seasons. Mobley didn’t have a healthy third season, but 2024-25 may be the year he truly breaks out and becomes an All-Star.
