Cavaliers General Manager: Mobley can continue to improve, he will become the best big man in the league

According to the news from American media HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto, Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Koby Altman talked about the situation of this season's best defensive player of the year winner Evan Mobley. Altman made it clear: Mobley can make our inside rotation easier because he can play multiple positions on the court and he can also top the five all the way.

Altman said: This offseason is also a very critical offseason for Mobley. The future direction of our team will be closely related to his growth. We've talked to him about this. We first came to Kenny Atkinson as the head coach, but we were attracted by his ability to help players improve during the offseason. Judging from the situation this season, the most obvious thing is that we have improved Mobley's usage rate and explored the possibility of him playing multiple positions. In the playoffs, we need him to make more shots in this game, rather than just 13 shots like now. This is also a new challenge for him, and he also needs to further improve his strength in all aspects under the current circumstances. We are confident in this and we think we have one of the best big guys in the league.

In the NBA regular season this season, Mobley played 71 games in the first 82 games, averaging 30.5 minutes per game, averaging 18.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.6 blocks, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 55.7%, a three-point shooting percentage of 37%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 72.5%. In the playoffs, Mobley played 8 games in the first nine games, averaging 32.1 minutes per game, averaging 17.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 1 block, and 1.4 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 58.6%, a three-point shooting percentage of 45.2%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 84%.

Mobley's performance this season is of course worthy of recognition, and he has also made great progress. He has a relatively high degree of grasp on the offensive end, and he can play a key role on the defensive end. But the problem is that Mobley's performance during the playoffs also proves one thing. He still lacks enough dominance and he cannot change the situation of the game based on his personal ability. As Altman said, the team has high hopes for Mobley and hopes that he can continue to grow. Mobley is now a very good player, but there is still a big gap between him and top stars. I don't know if Mobley can improve his performance this summer and have a bigger breakthrough next season.
