Evan Mobley: A Scouting Report | 2021 NBA Draft | The Ringer

Though Evan Mobley may not go first in this year's NBA draft, The Ringer's Jonathan Tjarks makes the case for why the USC big man could be the best player in this class. Combining a 7-foot frame with the skills of a guard, Mobley's unique playing style sets him up to be the best defensive prospect since Anthony Davis, and an immediate playmaker wherever he lands on Thursday night.

J Tjarks active again?? What a blessing! keep grinding sir

[joenichols]

As a cavs fan who watches every game, this is an amazing grab. I love everything about this kid - stoic, humble, hard working. The sky is the limit

[gonzalixmc]

Can we just stop and analyze the idfference in blocks and steals between AD and the rest? My god

[RichieMyers]

The Ringer team has gotten me hyped for this year's draft. Bravo fellas!

[michaelcoffman]

RIP Tjarks. Loved your work like this.

"We have never seen a 7 footer who can be a triple double threat and defensive player of the year"

Bill Walton, old Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, and Kevin Garnett must've never existed I guess...

Love these prospect breakdowns from Tjarks, Mann and KOC!

[Jmackfilmz]

You just increased my interest in evan mobley x10

Great job Tjarks and the phenomenal editing team.

I love Mobley but damn Tjarks really over sells him. Calling this a "scouting report" is highly inaccurate as their is very little analysis on what he doesn't do well.
Frankly I'd expect more from the ringer quality wise

[RealCGH]

Evan Mobley will be all defensive first team in no time, a big man not being exploited in Pick and Roll defense is such a valuable thing to have. In fact it's a strength

[JTS]

I'm here for the video and Mobley, but holy shit those AD are insane, hes almost pacing the field of the past decade with less fouls too lol

[briankrosky]

Did we just watch an nba scouting report without a single highlight from a college game? Like come on how do you ONLY put HS stuff in there.

[anunayanshrestah]

taking james wiseman wasn't a mistake come on its just his rookie year give him time

[dearmas]

God I hope you're right if the Cavs get him. Fingers crossed SO hard.

[Atomicbubble]

Cavs made a great choice here. A lengthy big with guard skills is the perfect combo in today’s nba, he can easily develop into a super star.

[drizzb]

You said he nearly, almost single-handedly carried USC to the elite 8. My G... do you watch basketball or just look at analytics? His brother Isaiah, Tahj Eaddy and Isaiah White actually helped carry them in the NCAA Tourney. He's a great player, but your analysis is sus.

[andreweverson]

i like mobley as a prospect bur christ you’re overselling him.

[afish]

Fantastic content as usual🔥. Pretty close between Mobley and Cunningham for #1 imo. I think they’re a bit ahead of Jalen Green despite what the consensus is trending towards.

[cappy]

Didn't take long for Mobley to become one of my favorite players. So fun to watch
