Last season, Evan Mobley enjoyed the best year of his career. He improved in all aspects offensively from his shooting to his playmaking to his shot volume, while maintaining his efficiency, while maintaining his elite defensive ability.
Mobley’s career season culminated in him winning his first Defensive Player of the Year award, a selection to the All-NBA second-team, and a top-ten finish in MVP voting. It was an absolute banner year for the big man, who justified the max contract he received in the 2024 offseason.
FanSided recently released its top 25 under 25 list, and Mobley came in fifth behind Victor Wembanyama, Anthony Edwards, Cade Cunningham, and Paolo Banchero.
