Evan Mobley: 2023 All Defensive 1st Team

[I'mWithDan]

His numbers don't say elite, but pretty good for his age.

Based on what criteria?

Mobley has maintained his defensive win share lead. If he ends the season #1, he will be the first 21 year old to do that since Tim Duncan.

He's the only 21 year old in the top 40 of win shares on the season......and he currently lands ahead of a slew of young emerging star guys like Ja. He's slowly climbed in 2023 too and is close to breaking in to the top 25 in win shares on the season.

He's averaging 17 / 9 / 3 / 2 since January 1st. That is roughly 20% of a season, games wise.

Players averaging 17 / 9 / 3 / 2 on the season (1):

Joel Embiid

The stuff Mobley has shown for the last 2 months is truly elite production........and the fact that he's honestly just scratching the surface is wild. He could be the best player in the NBA 3-4 years from now......and that is kind of crazy.

I remember his BPM numbers were being severely skewed by the 2nd worst 3pt differential in like 20 years. Has anyone been tracking this? Has that finally started to normalize?

Internal growth….

Much like Okoro, Mobley should not be untouchable. Getting generational talents are doubly hard nowadays much like the nhl. If the Cavs feel like he isn't one, don't reject a overpay based on pride.

He is one.

The hesi at the free throw line that led to a KP foul was disgusting. Guy moves like a gazelle at that height. Wish he would have finished that and-1.

The breakout continues.

You are hilarious.

I get a good laugh from Futuredome posts. I think he is a parody account, actually.

 

[The Oi]

He even had a mild reaction to that play and a Jarrett breakaway dunk.

I think he said “oh” and ooh” to each respectively.

Evan should ask for a Rising Star trade

Good breakdown on what we've been seeing with Evan lately.

I think it's an honor to be Noah's first pick. Noah's a former DPOTY and multiple NBA All-Defensive First Team selection. He knows what Mobley is.

Gasol and Williams never played defense so they have no idea what it is.

And he'll get plenty of offense too. These pick-up teams are loose on defense and no one will guard Mobley.
