The Mobley brothers are bringing excitement to the Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cleveland Cavaliers will have Evan and Isaiah Mobley suiting up for them in 2022.

The Cleveland Cavaliers drafted Evan Mobley in 2021 and he was an instant hit for the team and the fanbase. He echoed Tim Duncan in his style and attitude, but also brought a three-point shot to the game that Duncan didn’t have.

The Cavs are likely looking at one of the best two-way bigs in the game currently and maybe of all time if he continues to play well. Apparently, the Cavs liked Evan so much that they decided to see if his brother Isaiah Mobley could bring something similar to the team.

Isaiah recounted the moment he found out the Cavs drafted him to the media and talked about how excited he and his brother were on draft night. (Via the Akron Beacon Journal)

"He was extremely excited. He was literally right here on my right and he was in my face, smiling. We got some pictures of it. It was a great all-around moment."

The excitement for the Mobley brothers playing together extends to the Cleveland Cavalier fanbase

The addition of the elder Mobley brother brings something unique to the team. Defensively he may be as good as his younger brother, but only time will tell there. He’s an older prospect but he has shown the ability to turn away shots.

Offensively he has a similar three-point shot that his brother has, so he’ll be playing a lot of stretch four it looks like this year. He’ll likely be Evan’s immediate backup but he’s also expected to get minutes at the center spot, where he’ll provide more of a rim protection/rim running type of gameplay.

If he can showcase an ability to transition between a stretch-four and a rim-playing five, then the Mobley brothers may be a key reason why the Cavaliers see success.

Isaiah’s progress and execution won’t be on par with Evan, in theory, but if he can play well enough to warrant 15-20 minutes per game, then Isaiah may be the steal of the draft.
