His style of play is nothing like Duncan's, he just reminds me of him as a rookie, in terms of what influence he has on winning.
And what I mean by that is, he plays beyond his years, where everything he does on the floor contributes to actual impact, even if he isn't putting up box score numbers. It's that poise and BBIQ that makes them look like they've been here before in a past life. That's how good he is. There aren't too many rookie big men in the last twenty years you can say that about. Usually it takes them a while to work out things, especially in this day and age.
Evan Mobley and magic Johnson are the same guy
ikes is trash now they used to be pretty good. Dutch crunch used to always be fresh then seems like they became to big of a chain and quality took a shyt

The T wolves are legit too. The defense plus the offensive upside of Ant, KAT and Dlo make them intriguing. I think they could be a playoff team. Not play in team. A legit playoff team

For real though, it's about what he does defensively, that's how I see a bit of Duncan in him.
Usually rookie big men are known to make their name purely off highlight blocks, and while he does do that, it's more about the little things: making the right rotations, not biting on fakes, being in the right place at the right time, and just willing to take on a greater role on that end of the floor. Rookie big men don't do that sort of thing. They don't have have that desire, experience and foresight. They're typically about making highlight plays on that end by showing off their athleticism. Mobley isn't concerned with that. That shows someone who's wise beyond his years, who sees the bigger picture, just like Duncan did when he was a rookie.
And while he most definitely does NOT have Duncan's refinement and scoring skillset, he does make the right reads on offense too, and just knows where to be and what to do. This is evident in his passing, whether it be baiting the help defender into coming over and then passing to his assignment, or in the PnR either as the roll-man or as the ball-handler and finding the open man.
An emphasis on fundamentals. Mobley can score and rebound but he’s always in the right position and every decision is a sound one.
