2. Evan Mobley, Cleveland Cavaliers

A true seven-footer and a beast on both ends of the floor. Evan Mobley is the best rim protector in this draft and has a polished offensive game already. Neither are a surprise when looking at his skillset coming into the draft.

Mobley has played 25 games this season and has missed the last three. He is scoring 13.8 points per game and grabbing 8.3 rebounds per game. Mobley is currently averaging 1.8 blocks per game, which is good enough for fifth in the league.

An early-season favorite for Rookie of the Year, Mobley is a complete player on both ends. He can handle the ball like a guard and score from three levels.

Mobley can face up on the elbow or get a bucket down low. He was taken third in the draft but it still seems like Cleveland stole the big man.
