Mobley is a franchise level player and I wouldn’t take anyother rookie over him
The real games start soon enough, and while Evan competing for ROY of the year by putting up some numbers and getting people on his bandwagon would be fun it's not expected because his offensive game needs a lot of development. The award generally goes to the player that scores the most PPG rather than the player who had the most impact on winning- so again it's fun, but not particularly meaningful.
Hopefully those expectations don't get out of control because when you call a player a franchise player there's often an expectation of that player putting up big numbers and quickly even though there's plenty of examples of franchise players who did not.
He’s going to impact the game defensively right away. I wasn’t speaking on ROY that award goes to scorers. He doesn’t have to put up big numbers just impact the game defensively & continue to show flashes. It’s okay to be excited about his future.
