Jalen Green, one of the top potential customers in the upcoming NBA Draft, will just exercise for the 2 teams who own the top two picks in the draft– the Detroit Pistons and the Houston Rockets.
The vibrant G League Ignite guard, who might be the most explosive scorer coming out of the draft class, will hold a workout at the Houston Rockets training center and after that shut it down.
That might leave the Cleveland Cavaliers, who select third, in a bind depending on Houstons ultimate move. Reporting at The Athletic suggests the Rockets are deciding between the 2 Jalens presuming Detroit takes Cade Cunningham No. 1. Many want the explosive scorer Jalen Green and others want the all-around strong Jalen Suggs.
That would suggest Cleveland has an excellent option between Green and big man Evan Mobley if the Rockets surprise and take Suggs at No. 2. They would have less access to Green than Mobley, however there is lots of tape on both. I do not believe a lack of a private exercise with Green would prevent the Cavs from picking him.
The Cavs already have Darius Garland and Collin Sexton, who they reportedly want to move, as well as young center Jarrett Allen who they got in a big trade with the Brooklyn Nets at the trade due date with the intent of handing a new $100 million agreement to.
There is no particular need at either center or shooting guard, so the Cavs could do not hesitate to take finest gamer available. If youre a Cavs fan, do you desire that to be the multi-positional lockdown protective potential of Mobley or the potential elite scorer who commands the offense in Green? Im pleased I dont have to make that decision.
That being stated, this implies there is a world where the Toronto Raptors, sitting at No. 4 get a chance to prepare Mobley. And if it occurs, it almost feels like fate that Mobley would then become the finest player in the draft. Thats simply how things tend to exercise for Masai Ujiri.
The NBA Draft remains in 8 days. Its nearly Cade Cunningham time (probably).

If the Rockets surprise and take Suggs at No. 2, that would mean Cleveland has an excellent option between Green and huge guy Evan Mobley. That being stated, this indicates there is a world where the Toronto Raptors, sitting at No. 4 get a possibility to draft Mobley. And if it takes place, it almost feels like fate that Mobley would then become the finest gamer in the draft.
