A new player adds his name to the prize list of the ” Defensive Player of the Year »And these are Evan Mobley. The NBA announced that the interior of Riders had been preferred to Dyson Daniels (197 points) and Draymond Green (154 points), collecting 285 points and first places (on a maximum of 100), in a ballot where they are seven to have received first places (Mobley, Daniels and Green, but also Luguentz Dort, Amen Thompson, Ivica Zubac and Giannis Antetokoun).
At the head of Cleveland's defense, not particularly elite, because “only” 8th in terms of efficiency (111.8 points collected on 100 possession) but which has often been able to set foot on the brake with regard to the efficiency of its attack (121.0 points marked on 100 possessions), the neo-all-star excels defensively offensively and in painting, contesting both the 2 points.
Versatile as possible and capable of defending on several positions with his physical predispositions, in addition to having a positive influence on the rest of his teammates, he was undoubtedly the most regular of all the candidates this season. Subjecting, in particular, averages of 7.0 defensive rebounds, 1.6 against and 0.9 interception.
First member of the riders awarded by the “Hakeem Olajuwon Trophy”, Evan Mobley triumphs at only 23 years and 310 days. Before him, only four players had done the same before celebrating their 24th birthday: Alvin Robertson (23 and 265 days), Dwight Howard (23 and 128 days), Kawhi Leonard (23 years and 290 days) as well as Jaren Jackson Jr. (23 and 206 days).
Last year, we remember that it was Rudy Gobert who had been decorated for the fourth time in his career.
