Evan Mobley is taking the leap.

[@benburrow2993]

I’ve thought for years that the cavs feel so close and I could never understand why they were so mediocre. Seeing DG and Mobley finally turn it up is a blast to see

[@vism2812]

the reason why was inexperience and offensive schemes. since mitchell got to cleveland and they started 8-1 it was clear the team was very talented. but the players had no experience to draw on in high leverage games and JB Bickerstaff’s slow and stagnant approach to offence made it hard for everyone to get involved. now they’re battle tested, developing more every game, play proud team ball, and have an identity on both ends to fall back on

[@bigbobbyjhonson6415]

Yeah jb put a love for defense in these players too that can’t be understated this team has grown every year and I hope to see more 🤞

[@Bigslanga11]

They definitely weren’t mediocre but I know what you mean. They’ve dealt with injuries every season playing together plus a coach that wasn’t able to unlock their full offensive potential. They’ve been a top 3-5 defensive team the past few years but now a top 5 offense to match it which is very scary

[@dreamshakejake3736]

@@bigbobbyjhonson6415 JB was stifling their offensive potential.

[@hunterepsi]

Years? they have only been good for 3 years and every single year they have gotten better

[@inandoutoftheabyss9953]

He is this eras Big Fundamental. Mobleys composure, intelligence and hard work will put him above Chet and wemby overall in the long run. He is the TIM DUNCAN of the group of unicorns. He is unselfish and doesn’t stat pad AT ALL. But I guarantee you he wins rings.

[@iTrinityPlays]

It was okay being a Guards fan for the year, Browns are chalked for the year lol. So you got it good with Commanders. Would like the Cavs to make a deep playoff run this year, as they should.

[@ethanpoops]

@ Guards and browns i root for secondary as my grandma is a huge fan of both. Cubs are my first team (sorry) but yea we will see how the cavs go

[@kristofferwash1]

How Sway?!

[@RaKnows]

Kenny Atkinson was wondering what everyone else was: What the hell was Bickerstaff doing with this kid? He's HIM and has the whole bag, JB never put any time into developing him or running offense to or through him. Evan stayed professional through it all though.

[@johnbrown4447]

JB had to win and that’s what he did Rubio got hurt never replaced him Ty Jerome miss the whole year dean Wade also garland missed most the year Mobley missed half and he still won he actually got everything out of this team for what they had been dealt pay attention to

[@johnbrown4447]

Mobley turned his game up it’s called growth and development

[@Kemet3.0]

@@johnbrown4447 Correct... my only problem with JB is adjustments.

[@Sbrabson04]

And if you remember the Celtics playoff series, the game the Cavs won, they went through Mobley and continued to feed him. Then the following games they went to Mitchell taking all the shots and we lost every game after

[@johnbrown4447]

@@Kemet3.0 gotta give the man some type credit we were fun to watch last year also we could see this leap coming regardless

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EVAN WILL BE A MVP AT LEAST ONCE IN HIS CAREER

[@zeds_dead]

Lol no he won't. Center/forward is too stacked with all time greats and young up and coming stars. He'll never reach the level of a Jokic, Embiid, Giannis and Wemby and Chet will also be above him if they aren't already. He'll struggle to be a top 4 center, nvm the best player in the entire league.

[@VintageBakuganCollector]

@@zeds_deadwemby is not in front of Mobley rn lol

[@TheElsMan]

EXCELLENT video. As a Cavs fan I agree with everything you said and love the attention to detail

[@wyler98]

Excellent analysis!

[@0608jeff]

Mobley and Holmgren both have flashes of KG on defense, it's so satisfying to watch. Also AD, Bam, Jonathan Isaac, and Wemby too to some degree, and even Alex Sarr might be able to develop into a defensive juggernaut that switches 1-5 once he gets more comfortable in the league

[@lordcupkake]

finally found your yt after loving every single tt i see

[@twopointjumper]

He could be the 7 foot version of Kawhi: A defensive star who developed a offense

[@omieg89]

That’s a good comp.

[@bnsz8704]

Mobley is what everyone was saying Bol Bol would be

[@gregoryjones8440]

Man what?! That’s a terrible take

[@jonathandavid9389]

Its not until after the 3rd season where we can start realizing the potential of an upcoming player

[@ninjachannel007]

I mean, it's really a natural progression according to where you'd expect him to be in the 3rd season. Not saying he isn't headed toward the top, saying he was already this good 1.5 yrs ago.

[@DrewM-n4k]

He’s been like this.. the reason you only see glimpses is ALL JB BICKERSTAFFS FAULT period point blank. He didn’t become this player overnight or just all of a sudden.. when you don’t get to touch the ball all game then suddenly they want to post you up on the block in a CROWDED CLOGGED STAGNANT offense, it’s hard for any level of player. There’s a huge reason they picked Atkinson , bc he convinced them the most of any candidate for the job that he’d focus on Evan. He’s still not even hit his ceiling on both sides of ball , he’s still getting the same amount of shots .. he’s just touching the ball more. Just wait until they unleash him & he’s the top guy over even Spida. Hes going to average 25 & 9, 3 assists 2 blocks & 1.5 steals a game soon.

[@inandoutoftheabyss9953]

Real Cavs fans know that Mobley is actually shooting less middies this season. His FGAs from midrange went down the last few years. He actually has a really developed turn around jumper that he hits in crunch time consistently. He cooked Scottie several times with it. But this year, he’s shooting more 3s and less middies.

[@mainemusso44]

Yall complaining about JB but it’s Evan trainer that dude took Evan to the next level. Not Kenny Atkinson. Bc Cade Cunningham looks like Luka with defense under JB

[@hunterepsi]

They talking like this now because Cleveland are winning if Cleveland wasn't winning they wouldn't be saying this

[@bobwhite2]

Whoa. Not yet.

[@Lenrom12]

He’s putting up 17-8-3 brother 😭

[@Lenrom12]

Although I understand a lot of what he does isn’t gonna show up on the stats

[@vism2812]

in under 30 minutes while being a top 3 defender. like we see in the video, its not about the stats. him pushing off rebounds, initiating offence more as a handoff hub and pnr ballhandler, and attack every switch he sees opens things up for the whole team. his new aggressive approach to offence is a big reason the two big, ugly spacing having cavaliers can have a top 2 offence

[@bigbobbyjhonson6415]

Basically a 7ft pg at times

[@thesportsfein]

Just say you haven’t been watching him play

[@bsmoove2357]

Bro he has three other all stars on the team. Yall want him to average 26 and 13 lmao
