USC’s 7-foot freshman paint anchor with star-level two-way upside
In the 2020-21 season, Evan Mobley was a dominant freshman for USC, averaging 16.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.9 blocks while winning Pac-12 Freshman of the Week honors and ranking among the nation’s top big-man prospects. His calling card was elite rim protection, soft-touch scoring and unusually polished feel for a 7-footer; scouts also loved his mobility and defensive range, which made him more than just a post player. If your team needs a modern, switchable frontcourt centerpiece with upside, Mobley was a dream fit.
