Evan Mobley is going to need to fill out in coming years for the Cleveland Cavaliers, as for a 7-foot player, he’s currently only listed at 215 pounds.
I fully understand that, and it will take him time to be able to regularly hold his own against more physical bigs in the NBA when they are taking it to the interior or can get inside position.
But, it’s not as if Mobley is going to be a complete sieve or anything, and in today’s often three-point/perimeter skill-centric NBA, at least to a large extent, his perimeter defensive abilities should be key from the jump.
