Bobby Marks: Toss-up Between Green and Mobley at No. 2

Marks Discusses the NBA Draft

Yesterday, ESPN's NBA insider Bobby Marks joined Nick Kostos and Ken Barkley on You Better You Bet to discuss the upcoming NBA Draft.

Here are the best nuggets from their conversation:

Marks on Davion Mitchell's Draft Position (Over/ Under 8.5)

I think he can potentially goto Golden State at 7 if the Warriors keep 7 and 14. For Golden State, who is in win now mode, they do not want to take a flier on player to come in and develop. Mitchell is one of the older players in this draft and coming off of a championship. You can put him in right now with Curry, and once Thompson comes back. So, I'd say Mitchell's range is in that 5-8 range.

Marks on the No. 2 Pick (Green Heavy Favorite)

Cunningham is the logical pick to Detroit. Then it gets interesting. You've heard guys like Suggs, Mobley, Green in the 2-4 range.

I think it's equal for 2-3. Then there is some separation from where Suggs is. But, I think with Green and Mobley that you can flip a coin for either one of those guys.

There's a reason why these teams are in the lottery. These teams need a lot of help. If you are Houston or Cleveland, you are going to go out and get the best available player regardless of who is on your roster. But, I do think it is a toss up between Green and Mobley at 2.
