Mobley not only studies how Golden State used Green in the high post as a facilitator, allowing the Warriors to play Green and another non-shooter like Kevon Looney together on the floor (and, this season, Trayce Jackson-Davis) but also how Anthony Davis plays facing the basket. Or, how Giannis Antetokounmpo attacks from the wings. He’s wanted to play the way they do. “I feel like as the player I am, I have a lot of different skill sets that I can bring to the table,” he said. “Some of them aren’t as strong as they need to be yet, but me being out there, being uncomfortable, is going to sharpen them and get them all strong enough, so around playoff time when it’s really needed and we need everyone’s help, all my tools are going to be sharpened and where they need to be.”
