A strong playoff run would help quiet the noise about whether or not the Cavaliers big is a star.
Last season, Evan Mobley officially arrived for the Cleveland Cavaliers. After years of talk about his potential, he finally realized it with the best season of his career. He won the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year award, he was named an All-Star for the first time, and was on the All-NBA Second Team.
Mobley followed it up with a solid postseason showing, averaging 17 points per game, eight rebounds, and a block per game while shooting 59 percent from the field and 46 percent from 3-point range.
