The Scouts have signed the Southern California star (19, 2.13) in high school and he may be selected first in the upcoming draft, but only his assistant father coach and brother who plays with him on the team and also approaches the NBA know who he really is: "He is one and only"

There really was no possibility that he would not become a basketball player.

Owen and Isaiah Mobley really had no choice but to become basketball players.

Their father Eric played professional basketball in Portugal, Mexico and Indonesia, and their mother Nicole was a high school basketball player.

Isaiah hooked up with the orange ball, while Owen, who backed up significantly only in middle school until he reached his current height of 2.13 meters, experimented with other things before choosing basketball.

For a while, the two played in amateur teams, "they were not these guys who were marked from a young age to be what they are today," their coach in the amateur team said, "they were in a school no one had heard of before."

Isaiah eventually became a sought-after player in high school, and at the point where he was recruited to a college where his father serves as an assistant coach, Owen made his leap and became the most sought-after player in America, especially given his size and ability to play as a guard.

The two admitted in a number of interviews ahead of the college tournament that their one-on-one backyard games made them better players.

And of course this equation is joined by Father Eric as an assistant coach.

"I never thought of Eric as the father of the two," said USC coach Eric Anfield, "I do not coach everyone the same way, because everyone has a different personality, and we also give a free hand to the professional team. We coach the players and do not think about having A connection between them. "

Nicole sometimes reminds Eric that he should treat the two as his sons, "It's not easy being a father coach," Isaiah admits to his father, "I saw a lot of players whose father was their coach, and that could ruin their relationship, but my father does a great job." .

The first to also win the MVP title, Freshman of the Year and Center of the Year that season.

While Isaiah (21, 2.08) mostly comes off the bench and recorded 9.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and a block per game this season that made him a player that even the NBA scouts also pay attention to, the real story is Owen.

16.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3 blocks per game currently make him the player most likely to be selected second in the draft after Cade Cunningham, with some arguing that some teams may pick him even before the Oklahoma State guard.

Owen became the first player in the history of the Puck 12 to win the MVP title, Freshman of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year award, being nominated for College Player of the Year, College Player of the Year and College of the Year.

Comparisons about him range from Chris Bush, Anthony Davis and even Kevin Durant.

Meanwhile in the college tournament he excelled mostly on the defensive side when he scored 17 points and dropped 11 rebounds in the win over Drake and added 10 points and 13 rebounds in the huge win over Kansas.

"Owen gets all the focus from the defenses," says Andy Anfield, "it's very difficult to keep him because he can get in with the ball inside, score from the outside and put the ball on the floor as well."

But as mentioned what makes Mobley so impressive is the defensive ability, and he is the most impressive blocker in colleges since Anthony Davis.

An article in Sports Illustrated states that "he is very significant in keeping the color, with a combination of length, wisdom and quick legs that allow him to maintain some positions. He does not get into offense problems and understands his advantages - he knows how to identify the opponent's ball release points And wait for the ball to come out of his hand before he jumps and blocks it. "

So what's the problem anyway?

"He needs to add more body weight in the right places. His technique is also something that needs to be taken into account when he makes the physical change."

As mentioned, the experts compare Owen to a large number of players and fail to localize on one player, which makes a lot of sense according to Isaiah who sums up what he knows about his brother: "I saw comparisons and heard such and such things, but they only see what happens on the floor. "Some of the things he can really do, I believe that at the next level, where there is more space, every sack of his abilities will be opened. He will be one and only."
