When Evan Mobley entered the league I thought there was a clear path to progression.

He offered “unicornesk” skills. An ability to dribble well for his size, impressive defensive abilities, and great shooting touch.

I always thought his progression would be an “offensive hub” a player that thrive catching the ball in between the three point and free throw line. Hand offs on the perimeter taking advantage of his ability to dribble similar to Bam, and an ability to consistently knock down midrange shots and occasionally threes.

You see all of these flashes in his NBA debut

Instead since year 2 Evan Mobley has been a back down banging in the post type player. He takes fade away mid ranges and is now just starting to be used as a passer and NEVER is in the corner or shoots threes.

So what happened? He plays nothing like these highlights anymore. Is it a coaching or a development issue? I find it very disappointing
