Guy looks and plays like precious so.. sure I guess. Went from project 6’9 to project 6’6 seems weird drafted a 6 foot 6 center but whatever hopefully he’s Ben Wallace 2.0 lol

Slight reach, but generally mocked in this range. Defender, not much of a shooter, but just saw some training clips and his form looks fine. 6’6″ barefoot with 7’2″ wingspan.

This is Scottie’s friend btw

For guys who wanted Filipowski, I promise you he will become a huge defensive liability. We got a switchable 4 who has high energy and can rebound just as well as Filipowski. Good pick imo

mogbo is better than flip.
I really wanted mogbo, and was hoping we could trade down to get him, but still happy with it.

what’s his skillset?

Not getting mad at a second round pick. It’s a total crapshoot in this range.

Not really a fan of an undersized non shooter but who cares when it’s second rounders.

I think we’ll regret not taking Tyler Smith but let’s hope this pans out

Hope this comment gets brought up in the future when Mogbo is good, but I don’t understand this pick at all.
So many other better prospects, I really don’t see Mogbo’s path to being an NBA player.

Alot of the critics in this group sound alot like when we drafted siakam who was an older pick. Can’t teach work ethic, sounds like the guy works extremely hard and is very athletic. Off the charts on scouts per 40 analytics.

He did use to play guard before growing like 7 inches recently

Welcome to Toronto Mogbo

The draft analysis sounds like Draymond but the last time we drafted a high energy rebounding 4 who can’t shoot, he turned into Siakam

Thank you for selecting an undersized big who can’t shoot lol.. It’s a typical Masai draft.

Why? 6’6” tiny forward who can’t shoot. I’m baffled by this choice when guys like Tyler Smith and Kyle P were still on the board.
regohcide
I don’t hate it just feels like the raps had all this vaunted leverage at 31 in terms of trades and then pick a guy they likely could have got much later in the draft

Guaranteeing Masai drafts Adem Bona if he’s there at 45

I’m concerned Darko will try to Precionize him and then he will just be useless

Bro this whole draft was a bust. Tyler Smith was right there.

My prediction for mogbo is that he will be 24/25 g league mvp and shoot above 30 percent from 3 in the G and we will be optimistic going into the following season about his potential to become elite role player.

If he is Scottie’s best friend I can imagine he will be training big hours in Scottie’s gym, bound to improve fast.

Love the pick. Insane reach. Way above average rebounder, surprisingly good passer. Already friends with Scottie. Perfect 3 or 4 off the bench. Shot 63.6% in college.

Alrighty. I wanted a good athlete and they picked one. His height is misleading because the guy has a huge wingspan. He is 4 inches shorter than Filip yet has a wingspan 4 inches longer. Also longer than Tyler Smith.
From reports it says he’s got a handle and good passing as well.

drafting a best friend is gonna bite us in the ass if he doesnt pan out and gets cut

Honestly might have been there at 45
Scottie begged for this pick for sure
