The Cleveland Cavaliers will need to continue playing hard all season if they wish to reach the playoffs again and do much better than they did last season.
That means that all players will be required to constantly step up and play as if their team’s future depends on it.
Evan Mobley obviously feels that way.
A video shared by Tony Pesta on Twitter shows a bunch of highlights from Mobley from this season.
Again and again, Mobley has dominated in the paint, grabbed multiple rebounds, and put up smooth shots right under the bucket.

Even against big men like Anthony Davis, Mobley has proven his worth.
He is scoring a career-high 10.4 rebounds per game so far this season and he has also recorded 16.3 points and 3.2 assists per game, also career highs.
The rebounds are especially important for the Cavaliers because the team needs Mobley to hold down the frontcourt alongside Jarrett Allen.
They have one of the strongest backcourts in the league with Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland.
The new addition of Max Strus has only made their scoring better.
But Mobley has to continue to work hard close to the bucket, low in the post, against various stars.
So far, he is showing that this is something he can absolutely do.
The Cavaliers were recently able to shake off a two-game losing streak with a tight 105-102 victory over the Toronto Raptors.
During that game, Mobley earned a double-double with 12 points and 14 rebounds.
11 of those rebounds were defensive and really helped the team score a crucial win.
Mobley is currently very tuned in and playing well and will need to keep it up against the Atlanta Hawks in Tuesday’s In-Season Tournament game.
