Last year, when he received All-Star and DPOY awards, he finally broke out of his shell and ascended to superstardom.
He’s still a 2.5 option in Cleveland despite posting fairly mediocre stats this year.
It goes without saying that he is a former DPOY player in terms of defense, and his offense is also steadily improving by 3 points, and his penetration, handling, and mid-range are all good, but he lacks explosive power and concentration, bombarding him with 30-40 points when he gets caught.
Perhaps the reason is that there is no solid scoring route that can be used under the NBA goal.
Also, there is a conflict with center partner Jarrett Allen, and the Cleveland team, which is the only team in the league with an excess of second aprons, wants to sell Allen quickly and use Mobley as a small ball 5, but if that happens, there will be a big reason why he cannot control the boards and get under the goal. Numbers 1 and 2 are already small teams.
Anyway, the comparator is Kevin Garnett, but it’s a shame because he seems to be moving away from the all-round defense and attack type like KG. It’s a pity that we can’t reach the high point and it seems to be turning into what is commonly called a deteriorating plate, Temu Garnet.
