Cavs Snag USC Big Man Evan Mobley at No. 3
There were some major surprises in the First Round of the 2021 Draft. The Cavaliers’ pick was not one of them.
The Wine & Gold went with the player they’ve been aligned with for weeks – tabbing talented seven-footer from Southern California, Evan Mobley, with the No. 3 overall pick, adding the 20-year-old to a young core ready to take the next step.
The highest Cavaliers draft pick since Andrew Wiggins was selected with the top overall pick back in 2014, Mobley enters the league after a prolific single season with the Trojans.
