Why He’s Interesting: Sometimes it’s tough to remember that Mobley’s only 20 years old. The No. 3 pick in the 2021 draft, Mobley has started the season on a tear, averaging nearly 15 points a game through the Cavs first 15 games games. Despite not being able to legally purchase alcohol, the 6-foot-11 swingman has Cavs fans dreaming big.
He’s Getting Adjusted to Cleveland: After living in California all his life, he’s slowly getting acclimated to Cleveland. “I really love the city and the fans. The fans have been active, engaged and really supportive.”
Technical Foul: Mobley’s learned a lot in his first couple of months in the league. One of the best pieces of advice he’s been given came from veteran point guard Ricky Rubio: Learn the names of the referees. “I’m really trying to build a relationship with them, because I feel like that helps me throughout the game.”
He’s a Marvel Nut: When he’s not bashing in the paint against some of the best athletes in the world, Mobley can most likely be found on his couch consuming as much Marvel content as possible. “I’m really into Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. right now.”
Interesting Fact: He can do a backflip. Just don’t expect to see it anytime soon. “I don’t think the coaches will want me to do that on the court.”
