  1. Call me a biased raptors fan, but having Mobley over Barnes is clearly not true at this point. Scottie #2 or 3 / Harden #2 or 3 followed by Ingram #4 is the correct answer.

  2. i know people hate bull but fuck at least hes honest and not a fucking homer, im a raps fan i dont think raps are winning but im not fucking stupid either and thinking MOBLEY IS BETTER THEN BARNES!!!! fuck dont be homers yall be REAL here

  3. Barnes (roughly): 18 pts, 7.5 rbs, 6 asts.
    Mobley (roughly): 18 pts, 9 rbs, 3.5 asts.
    Mobley averages less than one block and one steal more than Barnes does and is the reigning DPOY on a team that is more talented and limits his opportunities with the ball. I'd take Mobley every time.

  4. Mobley ain't better than Barnes 😂 that DPOY shxt done mean a thing. If he were better, he woulda grabbed ROTY. Moving on.
