Evan Mobley · The rise of Evan Mobley reached a new tier in 2024–25. In just his fourth season, the Cavaliers big man anchored Cleveland to the East’s top record with dominant two-way play—earning All-NBA honors and being crowned the NBA Defensive Player of the Year. Mobley averaged 18.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game, all while holding down the paint, switching onto guards, and erasing plays before they developed. He made defense look instinctive and effortless, leading the league’s top unit from opening night to playoff tip. But it wasn’t just the stops. Mobley added new tools to his offensive bag, finishing with career-high scoring and impact on both ends. The footwork. The touch. The reads. The consistency. Cleveland has its franchise pillar, and the rest of the league is officially on notice. · State of Mint · State of Mint
