Has Evan Mobley Been Underrated In His Second Season With The Cavs? /

In this story:

Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cavs have been off to a stellar 8-2 start to the season. This is undoubtedly been in large part because of Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell. They sure have been incredible! But they aren't the only ones who've been helping Cleveland win.

Another player who's been off to a great start is Evan Mobley. However, he may not be getting the credit he deserves.

At the end of his rookie season, Mobley was averaging 16.0 points on .508 from the field. He also averaged 1.8 blocks and 0.9 steals on the defensive end. With this performance, some were saying he was robbed of the Rookie of the Year Award.

Here through the first nine games of his sophomore season, he's averaging 6.4 points on an even better .554 shooting percentage. Mobley also is averaging 1.0 steals and 1.7 blocks a night. This includes a single game where he had a career-high eight blocks.

Mobley is replicating his fantastic season and in some respects doing a better job. He's averaging more points this year on even better efficiency.

We need to start giving Mobley the attention and love he deserves because he's been a massive part of the success of this team. He is such a unique and special player.

The best part about this is that Mobley is still only in his second season and he still has plenty of room to grow. That has to be a scary thought for the rest of the league.
