The most dangerous version of Evan Mobley isn’t the one scoring 25 points

Writer Creshonda Smith argues that the Cleveland Cavaliers need Evan Mobley to develop into a secondary offensive playmaker rather than focusing solely on scoring. With guards Donovan Mitchell and James Harden commanding defensive attention, Smith believes head coach Kenny Atkinson must empower Mobley to operate as an offensive decision-maker to build a more resilient postseason offense.

The article suggests utilizing early-season matchups against teams like the Brooklyn Nets and Washington Wizards to experiment with Mobley initiating plays from the elbow. Smith contends that repetitions making passes out of the short roll and attacking four-on-three advantages will prove critical for Cleveland during the playoffs.
