Robin Lopez described playing against Evan Mobley in scrimmages as:
“Part fun & part just terror.”
“When he gets a full head of steam headed down the floor, he can either pull up for that mid-range jump shot or he attacks the rim like a bulldog. It is so difficult to guard.” – 8:15 AM

More on this storyline
Serena Winters: Robin Lopez has been a big hit around #Cavs camp. Gotta love this description of RoLo from Evan Mobley: “He’s just like a big jolly guy that’s always happy. A lot of people might think he’s a little scary because he’s tall & big, but he’s really just a nice guy & goofy.” -via Twitter @SerenaWinters / September 29, 2022
Four of the five slots in the starting group are locked in. Mitchell. Darius Garland. Evan Mobley. Jarrett Allen. Four All-Star caliber players. It has the makings of one of the league’s most devastating quintets. But Lauri Markkanen’s offseason departure (traded to Utah as a piece of the Mitchell blockbuster) left a 7-foot hole at the 3 — and blew up the tall-ball experiment that became part of Cleveland’s identity during a turnaround season. So, now what? -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / September 28, 2022
There have been comparisons made of Mobley, who has one pro season and averages of 15.0 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks under his belt, to Kevin Garnett, who is a member of the 2020 class of the Naismith Hall of Fame. Mobley even mentioned Garnett’s name himself during his Monday availability. Afterward, Mobley told me: “I think it’s a pretty good comparison.” “I try not to compare myself to anybody for real though, because I am my own player,” Mobley said. “I think it’s a good comparison, as well as to every other player that has my same physique.” And when I mentioned to Mobley that Garnett was, in fact, a Hall of Famer, he smiled wide and said, “Yeah, I mean, yeah, he is a great player as well, so I think it’s a pretty good comparison.” -via The Athletic / September 27, 2022
