Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Donovan Mitchell backed teammate and forward Evan Mobley's case for Defensive Player of the Year, per Danny Cunningham of ESPN Cleveland.
"He should be the Defensive Player of the Year," Mitchell said of Mobley.
"I've played with a three-time Defensive Player of the Year, so I know what it looks like and I'm seeing it with him, for sure."
Mitchell was referring to his former teammate on the Utah Jazz, center Rudy Gobert, a shot-blocking machine who has been a member of the NBA All-Defensive first team six years running.
