Cleveland's standout rookie opens up about his first season and the biggest adjustment he had to make.
Evan Mobley didn’t need an adjustment period to the NBA. Cleveland’s standout rookie looked perfectly in place from his very first professional contest, a 17-point, nine-rebound, six-assist effort against Memphis.
Mobley’s stock has only risen since. He enters Friday night ranked in the top five among qualified rookies in points, defensive rating and rebounding percentage, and he’s one of only four rookies in NBA history to average at least 15 points, eight rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.
