USC forward\/center out <strong>Chris Bosh<\/strong> before he played his first game in the NBA.<\/p>\n<p>This definitely put pressure on Mobley to make an impact right away. <\/p>\n<p>Mobley&#8217;s rookie season can be considered successful on multiple fronts. He quickly became the best defender not only in the Cavaliers, but in the NBA as well. Mobley also showed a lot of potential offensively.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p>He averaged 15.0 points and 8.3 rebounds a game in his first year with an efficient 50.8 shooting percentage from the field.  Mobley has produced about the same number in his sophomore season, drawing needless criticism from some. <\/p>\n<p>Mobley has given all of these critics a rest for the past week and a half. In his last five games, Mobley is averaging 22.2 points on his 65.3% shooting. <\/p>\n<p>He could force his will on defenders, move deep into the paint, unleash fadeaway jumpers, and land mid-range shots. A forward has almost everything to hit threes (which is fine). <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<p>This stretch included a career-setting night for Mobley. He dropped 38 points without making three or a single free throw in the process. He scored all the points from the field. <\/p>\n<p><strong>JB Bickerstaff<\/strong> I recognize the confidence Mobley has played with.

He doesn&#8217;t have to do this every night for Cleveland to be successful, but it does give the opposing defense another player to keep in check. <\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<section class=\"m-in-content-recommendation m-detail--in-content-recommendation h-isolated-styles mm-component-stack--is-body-item\">\n<p><span>scroll to continue<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p><strong>You may also like:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cavaliers should trade this Timberwolves forward<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cavaliers win with Bucks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evan Mobley builds new career, scores big against back<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH: Cleveland Cavaliers Honor Anderson Varejao With Tribute Video And Special Night<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Evan Mobley scores career half-high against Bucks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cavs-Bucks injury report, both Mitchell and Antetokounmpo out<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p><strong>apply <\/strong>to us <strong>YouTube channel<\/strong> For more coverage of the Cavaliers!<\/p>\n<p>Follow comprehensive coverage of the Cavaliers through Sports Illustrated&#8217;s FanNation network:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Website: www.cavsinsider.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>twitter: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CavsInsider_FN\" onclick=\"return phoenixTrackClickEvent(this, event);\" target=\"_blank\">@CavsInsider_FN<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMiX2h0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnNpLmNvbS9uYmEvY2F2YWxpZXJzL25iYS1hbWljby9ldmFuLW1vYmxleS1zaG93aW5nLW5ld2ZvdW5kLWNvbmZpZGVuY2Utb24tdGhlLWZsb29y0gFkaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2kuY29tL25iYS9jYXZhbGllcnMvLmFtcC9uYmEtYW1pY28vZXZhbi1tb2JsZXktc2hvd2luZy1uZXdmb3VuZC1jb25maWRlbmNlLW9uLXRoZS1mbG9vcg?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Evan Mobley When the Cavaliers acquired him with the 3rd overall pick in the 2021 draft, he had high hopes.
