Evan Mobley Nearing Extension

It seems like Evan Mobley is on the verge of signing a contract extension.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have had a busy offseason, but things are falling into place. They’ve already secured Donovan Mitchell with a new deal and managed to keep their main players together. Extending Evan Mobley’s contract looks like the next big move for them.

Evan Mobley’s Impact and Potential

Evan Mobley might not be super famous yet, but he’s definitely one of the top young talents in the NBA. He’s been working on his offense while always being strong on defense. Together with Jarrett Allen, they make an impressive frontcourt duo that can really protect the rim. Some people wondered if they could play well together, but they’ve proven to be tough defenders for any team to face.

Last postseason, Mobley showed he could step up his game offensively. He averaged 16 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.2 blocks per game, and shot 55.5% from the field during the playoffs. This was much better than his previous playoff stats where he only scored 9.8 points per game and shot 45.8%. The team believes he’s ready to become a more reliable co-star.

Can He Eventually Develop Into a Secondary Star?

We still don’t know exactly how good Evan Mobley can become, but last season gave us some clues why he was picked third overall in the 2021 NBA Draft. He put up solid numbers: 15.7 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game with a defensive rating of 109 and a career-best defensive box plus/minus rating of 2.0.

If he keeps improving as both an offensive and defensive player, he’ll definitely turn into a strong partner for Donovan Mitchell—and his new contract will totally pay off in the future!
