J.B. Bickerstaff: Evan Mobley is a bad boy…

After 3 games Mobley is averaging 15.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.3 blocks

Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Evan Mobley, the third overall pick in the last Draft,scored 17 points with 11 rebounds and 4 blocks in the win against the Atlanta Hawks.

The former USC big man showed his enormous potential on both sides of the court.


In the post-game coach J.B. Bickerstaff even compared him to Kevin Garnett for the way he played at the top of the zone, and for how quick he is to learn and apply any teaching.


"Seeing Evan’s ability to move through that made me think of when K.G. was playing at the top of that zone. That position he plays in that zone is not an easy position. You’ve got to quarterback it from the front and also see and be aware of what’s behind you. The way he picks up things, you tell him something and he goes and does it, and that’s not common for young players."


"He’s a bad boy," Bickerstaff told cleveland.com after the game. "I keep trying to manage his expectations but he keeps blowing my mind."
