I was relieved when the Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t overthink things in selecting Evan Mobley #3 overall in the 2021 NBA Draft.
The USC big does need to progress as a three-point shooting threat in coming years, and I’m not glossing over that, but he has shown plenty of flashes and his guard-like abilities will aid him as a pull-up threat and driver, too.
Combined with his defensive abilities, rim protection, fluidity and passing feel/vision, Mobley could be a superstar in the near future I believe.
