Cavs Top Pick Makes His First Appearance in Cleveland

On his first full day as a Cavalier, after meeting some team personnel and the media, Evan Mobley was approached by the incomparable Jim Chones, who eyed up the 20-year-old and – in his Chonesian way – said, “Yep, you’re seven foot.” He looked him up and down. “Could grow a couple inches, too.”

Chones knows big men. And one day on the road or at CCC, the team’s radio analyst will pull the youngster aside and impart some wisdom from a lifetime in the league.

In the meantime, life is moving fast for the former Trojan – who, along with his beaming parents, made his initial appearance in Cleveland on Friday afternoon in Independence to meet staff and media.
