I wanted Rafael Stone to draft Jalen Green over Evan Mobley. I prefer it when teams go for the player with Michael Jordan upside over a frontcourt player because I’ve seen too many big men end up being bad picks. I’m still happy with choosing Green over Mobley. Green has grown as a player in each of his first three seasons, and I thought he was a top 50 player for the 2023-24. I don’t have concerns about Green. Perhaps best of all, he has been healthy so far in his career which is a good sign for his longevity. 9/3/2024
