[@motivationmastery684]

Sounds like a positive fun guy to be around. Good for team culture.

[@bedford4383]

Bot type comment but i agree.

[@jordanlalonde2507]

Yeah nice guy but isn’t good enough to be in the nba. Never will be unfortunately

[@zaysview8095]

I hope he can hoop

Having a teammate you know and have a relationship with like Scottie is such an advantage! Let's GO Raps!

New nickname acquired... Jonathan "Funny Story" Mogbo. I already like this guy. #WeTheNorth

[@carlinjames9475]

LMAO

[@rdumontdebeque]

I’ve been following USF since 1991. Mogbo is the best big man I’ve seen there. He didn’t disappear against top competition…..he was facing defenses designed to stop him and still found a way to excel.

[@eXit-ubermensch]

I was rooting for Mike Sharavjamps last season, but fell in love with Mogbo's game at USF.

[@daretogoater2670]

Super mature. Super confident and charismatic. This guy has a pro attitude.

[@INFINITE-IA]

Better choice than Flip for us

[@saiyanprince2795]

Utah is the perfect fit for that guy if u heard the story about his girl

[@JesseYVR]

Yeah character matters

[@aquamarine99911]

Obviously an older, more mature guy than most draftees. He was highly rated, mocked to go around #35 or so. So this wasn't just a "draft Bronny" situation to make Scottie happy. He passes really, really well. Just needs to learn to shoot, and he can be the next Draymond.

[@Savenmi]

Welcome to Canada Jonathan Mogbo!

[@INFINITE-IA]

He's like a mix of Draymond & Precious.... Great choice

[@ZionGuySupreme]

Like the Deebo and Sonny Weems friendship, got a good feeling about team chemistry this year!!

[@GhostHasIQ]

A real fan I see, most these fools got no idea about them young gun era or even the young gun seating section. Lol!

More like Kenneth fared with high passing 😅

[@sachinruparelia]

Hes gonna be so good. Very underrated

[@GregoryCampbellSwag]

Very impressed by his professionalism at such a young age. Hopefully he impresses Masai and gets a roster spot, it will be tough as Masai is hard to please but hopefully he makes it.

[@medved4030]

[@mrkared]

Wow so impressed with this guy! Wishing him the best!!

[@elsieknightbornagain8762]

Welcome to Raptors Mogbo❤

[@prinz97]

Raptors wanted to draft someone to fit Scottie's timeline. So they drafted someone literally the same age as him.

[@ThisisAOTV]

Seems like a good kid

Honestly

This guy will be a fan favourite

[@IceManLikeGervin]

Another very solid addition. Reporters don't even have right info... he's 6'6.25 not 6'8. The 905 are going to be fun to watch this season.

[@gpproductions7681]

That's about 6'8 in shoes.

[@whoistendo]

tbf they're measured without shoes now so he would be close to 6'8 while playing.

[@IceManLikeGervin]

@@gpproductions7681 That's 6'7.25 in shoes...

[@infamous1ao]

Wing span is way more important, you don't block shots with your head.

Poor man’s Koloko

[@MRBp2024]

They don't play the same position. They don't have the same build. There not close to the same size. There basketball experience is so different. You saw a black guy with an African sounding name and thought Koloko. Typical caucasian Canadian take. Koloko is a thin framed 7ft 1 Center born & raised in Cameroon, late starter to basketball, elite shotblocking big. Mogbo is a 6ft 7, strong wing from Florida, been playing basketball his whole life, grew up playing as a guard & has guard skills. Mogbo was 5ft 9 in highschool and had a late growth spurt going up to 6ft 7. Mogbo is an athletic, point forward with great defensive ability. His playstyle, build is a more athletic Draymond Green. Mogbo & Scottie grew up together. Mogbo growth spurt came late. Scottie was already 6ft 6 when Mogbo was still 5ft 9. With Koloko his potential was scary high. Koloko had great lateral quickness, at 7ft 1 could defend on an island v quick guards and was already an elite shot blocker as a raw rookie. Koloko just needed reps, get stronger. Koloko health scare is why he isn't in the league. Nothing to do with talent.
