Lakers' LeBron James Praises Evan Mobley, Says Cavs Rookie Will Be 'Damn Good'

Evan Mobley didn't come away with a victory on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Lakers, but the Cleveland Cavaliers rookie at least earned some high praise from The King.

LeBron James said Mobley is "going to be a damn good basketball player in this league" following the Lakers' 113-101 win, per Cleveland.com's Chris Fedor:

"It's so crazy because he was just playing against my son a couple years ago. It's weird. It's getting more weird by the day. He was playing against my son in the playoffs two years ago and obviously we saw what he did in the tournament — just electrifying.
