I think it would stunt Mobley's growth. He'd spend two years trying to figure how to be a guy who plays off of Wood (who'd then leave) rather than find his own role. If Mobley had better shooting range I could see it, but I'm generally sour on playing multiple bigs, especially on a rebuilding team. Side thought, I wonder if OKC rolls in offering a pile of picks to Houston so it can snag Mobley? They've got the trade capital.

Hawks hanging in against the Bucks. Bucks up 59-54 at halftime. Trae Young has been unbelievable.
They play a deep drop on the pick-n-roll. He's going to have that floater all series unless they change up the defense (and they gave a different look at the end of the half). I think the Bucks are goinig to challenge Trae to beat them single-handedly. He looked up to it in the first half.
However, the Bucks are getting pretty much whatever they want on offense (and doing damage on the offensive boards). With Hunter out, Bogdanovic hobbled and Trae already beat up, I don't think the Hawks are going to have the horses to win the series. No doubt they'll scratch and claw and make it a dog fight of a series, but after a half I'd feel a lot more comfortable as a Bucks fan.

Trae Young is a lot of fun to watch

Is Marv just calling every made jumper a 3 at this point in his career?

The NBA is expected to implement rule changes to limit attempts to draw fouls on non-basketball moves starting in 2021-22, sources tell The Athletic.
The focus would be on moves where the offensive shooter leans into a defender or kicks his leg out at an abnormal angle, or where an offensive player veers suddenly backward or sideways into a defender. Such plays would now be called offensive fouls, unless the contact is marginal enough to be a no-call.

Hawks win game one. Trae Young is a bad man.
