Evan Mobley (should be considered for) Defensive Player of the Year

[letgocavs]

I can’t put you as defender of the year until I know you can possibly stop a superstar with one last possession. Can he stop jokic, embiid, giannis, AD, luka whoever with the last possession? Not yet, maybe by next year.

He stopped Dame last year. Does that count?

You must be taking notes from the Grizzlies scorekeeper.

6 rebounds excuse me.

Richards is actually pretty cool. I'd love to have him. Very good mobility. He kept up with Mobley when he was handling going full speed. He blocked several Mobley shots.

Mobley figured him out and after that, Richards couldn't do anything.

Evan really learns over the course of the game. Cool to see

Mobley is only 10 blocks behind Jarrett Allen for 16th all time in cavs history..

I would have liked seeing him shoot some mid-range
shots early in the game to entice Embiid away from
the basket.

I also thought Embiid got EM sped up in the paint.

This is how you destroy zone defense.

He’ll be an all star next year.

 

[Benway]

He's like the Anti-All-Star

 

[Cavatt]

He did great dismantling the zone, and he is clearly better than that tier of guys like Porzingus

At least every other play. I remember Kareem doing the skyhook 3-4 times in a row. There was nothing anyone could do.

Looks similar to the move Embiid laid on him that was reversed (still bullshit). I like that he’s saying fuck it and bullying into people like Embiid did to us nonstop. Evan is learning how to play like a dominate big man and it’s amazing to watch.
