Evan Mobley was the 2021 Pac-12 Player of the Year, and was grabbed by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the Third Overall Pick in the following draft.
The Power Forward was a n immediate starter, averaging 15.0 Points per Game as a rookie, and earned a First Team All-Rookie Selection. Last season, Mobley was part of a rising Cleveland squad that added Donovan Mitchell. Mobley increased his PPG to 16.2, and led the NFL in Defensive Win Shares (4.9). He was also named to the All-Defensive Team.
Mobley still was good in his third season (15.7 PTS and 3.2 Steals per Game) but only played 50 Games due to knee issues, but Cleveland knew they had something special. Last season, Mobley delivered on the promise, winning the Defensive Player of the Year Awrd, with a tenth-place MVP finish. Mobley, who was also a Second Team All-NBA Selection, increased his offense to over 18 Points per Game. The shine on Mobley had arrived, and with a loaded roster around him, there could be a shiny ring in his future.
