Cavs: Evan Mobley will be great security blanket for guards

Heading into the 2021 NBA Draft on Thursday night, it did appear that the Cleveland Cavaliers could very well eventually go with USC big Evan Mobley.

They ultimately did go with him at #3 overall, and the Cavaliers got themselves a big-time talent there, and down the road, the Wine and Gold may have a superstar.

Mobley had 16.4 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.9 blocks and 2.4 assists per game in his lone collegiate season with the Trojans, and although it’s not a certainty, I do believe that him and Jarrett Allen can be a formidable duo at the 4/5 for Cleveland.
