After his first All-Star season, the Cleveland Cavaliers are expecting to see another leap out of star big man Evan Mobley.

The third-overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, Mobley is the most important rising star on the Cavaliers since LeBron James or Kyrie Irving. He has already accomplished defensive feats no other Cleveland baller has, including recognition on the All-Defensive First Team in his second season and winning Defensive Player of the Year last season.
