Brandon Mobley — F, 6-9, 215
Junior, 23 years old

Season (25.4 mpg): 9.1 PPG, 5.0 RPG

Game: 18 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 blocks

*Mobley is returning from season ending shoulder surgery he underwent last February.

Outlook: Mobley is a swingman with good athleticism and developing jump shot. But at this point he doesn’t have an identity—too small and skinny to play power forward, but not skilled enough (either shooting or ball handling-wise) to play on the perimeter. Thus, he’s kind of stuck in “no mans’ land” on both offense and defense. This relegates him to foul-line jump shots on offense, with occasional opportunities as a slasher and offensive rebounder.

Overall, Mobley needs to add a significant amount of muscle, and then sort redefine his offensive arsenal to include some semblance of a jumpshot. I don’t see it at this point.

Brandon Mobley — F, 6-9, 215
Junior, 23 years old

Season (26 mpg): 8.8 PPG, 5 RPG

Game: 10 points, 10 rebounds, 5 blocks

Strengths
— So-so scorer inside the paint

Areas of improvement
— Awful jump shot
— Weak frame
— Position-less defensively
— 23 years old

Outlook: Barring drastic improvement in the near future, in my opinion the writing is on the wall for the 23 year-old Mobley. The good: an athletic forward who occasionally finishes around the basket. The bad: a tweener on defense, lacks an identity offensively, has a weak frame, and an awful jump shot.

Good athlete, but poor ball handler, poor jump shooter, and a weak frame.
