Evan Mobley’s Stellar Performance Leads Cavaliers to Unbeaten Start

Evan Mobley, the 23-year-old power forward for the Cleveland Cavaliers, continues to be a pivotal figure in the team’s impressive start to the 2024-2025 NBA season. The Cavaliers, currently the only unbeaten team in the league with a 9-0 record, have been dominating their opponents, and Mobley’s development has been a significant factor in their success.

Mobley, drafted by the Cavaliers with the third overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, has shown remarkable growth in his third season. He has averaged 16 points, 6.75 rebounds, and 2.33 assists per game, while shooting an impressive 55.5% from the field and 27.8% from three-point range.

In their recent game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Mobley contributed to the Cavaliers’ 131-122 victory, which marked the first time this season the team allowed over 120 points. Despite this, the Cavaliers’ strong offense and defensive presence, led in part by Mobley and center Jarrett Allen, have kept them atop the league standings.

Mobley’s performance has also earned him several accolades, including being named to the All-NBA Defensive First Team in 2023 and the All-Rookie First Team in 2022. He has also participated in the NBA Rising Stars Challenge and won the Skills Challenge in 2022.

The Cavaliers’ upcoming game against the Golden State Warriors will be a significant test, especially given the Warriors’ recent form. However, with Mobley’s continued development and the team’s cohesive play, the Cavaliers are poised to remain a formidable force in the NBA this season).
