Cavs: Evan Mobley seems set to start from the jump

The Cleveland Cavaliers ended up making what I thought was a no-brainer move in selecting USC big Evan Mobley at #3 overall in the 2021 NBA Draft.

Mobley is not a floor spacer in the traditional sense yet, and did not show a ton of three-point shooting ability with the Trojans, but he did show flashes in high school/AAU, and his stroke at this point is fine enough to lead one to think he could be. Mobley has good touch in other areas too, and him being able to create for himself off-the-bounce is not something that should be discounted.
