Taking Evan Mobley third overall in 2021 was a no-brainer for the Cleveland Cavaliers. His physical tools, defensive prowess, and promising but undeveloped shooting form made him as 'can't-miss' any top-three prospect in recent years.
Fast forward to today, and while Mobley is clearly a very good basketball player, he hasn't reached that higher echelon of two-way big men the Cavs and the national media hoped for. His development has stalled, with only marginal improvements around the edges.
That's why, after watching him struggle with his free-throw shooting in a close loss to the Orlando Magic, ESPN Cleveland radio host Aaron Goldhammer finally addressed the elephant in the room with Mobley and the Cavs.
