Yeah. Unfortunately, the game I saw last night was Chet welcoming Mobley to the league...
14 points, 15 boards and two blocks is a really solid game. Just overshadowed by the longboi getting 7 blocks, that’s video game numbers.
Watching it told a completely different story. After Chets first block on Mobley, he was hesitant for the rest of the half. Mobley came back with more confidence for the 2nd half and got Chet a couple of times (with a block and a dunk), but overall, Chet looked very comfortable with Mobley guarding him and punked him so many times offensively and defensively.
To me, Mobley looked like the unsure rookie with a lot of talent and promise, while Chet looked like the 3rd year up and coming star.
Edit: Mobley did look dominant whenever Chet was out of the game. The Thunder often had JDub on him and Mobley took advantage as he should.
To be fair Mobley was playing out of position and is at his best as a help defender. Don't get me wrong Chet looked like the better player at least for that game and deserves praise. Just saying it's not really that shocking that a player with Chets size and skill set looked comfortable when being guarded by someone like Mobley.
