Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Evan Mobley was spotted recently in Los Angeles working out with Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams and NBA trainer Olin Simplis.
Mobley went to work with Adams after a strong showing in the Las Vegas Summer League. He averaged 11.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, three assists and 1.7 blocked shots in three games. Mobley produced his best game on Aug. 11 with 14 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
The opportunity to train against a veteran like Adams should prove to be very beneficial for Mobley. Adams has often been regarded as perhaps one of the strongest players during his eight years in the league and can be a tough defender inside the paint.

Mobley enters next season with high expectations as the third overall pick. He projects to be a great addition to the Cavaliers’ frontcourt as a player that can make an impact on both ends of the floor. He believes he can be a generational player in the NBA and it is easy to see why.
