Cavs: Evan Mobley could be ideal defensive option for Giannis Antetokounmpo down road

The Cleveland Cavaliers are set to likely end up selecting third in the 2021 NBA Draft, which will commence on Thursday.

At that spot, while the likes of Jalen Suggs, and to a lesser extent it’d appear Jonathan Kuminga/Scottie Barnes could be, it seems that Evan Mobley could more so be Cleveland’s selection there.

And although the Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic, the next two picks after Cleveland, have reportedly made offers to the Cavs for that #3 pick, I wouldn’t anticipate Cleveland to bite there; they shouldn’t, I believe, either.
