NBA Draft: How does Evan Mobley fit with the Warriors?

Golden State Warriors prospect: Evan Mobley’s offensive skill set

It’s hard to read much into Mobley’s basic offensive stats at USC due to the incredibly frustrating way they use their centers offensively. Onyeka Okongwu, my 5th overall prospect last year, was hard to pin down on offense as well because of a lack of touches in advantageous positions.

Mobley is an excellent scorer both on and off the ball for a true seven-footer, yet sees annoyingly few shot attempts. Despite these issues, he’s putting up a clean 17 points per game on only ten field goal attempts.

He does very well at getting to the line and converting despite not being close to filling out his immense frame.

He has a good feel for the game offensively and can space the floor as well. Not only can he shoot, but there’s also reason to believe Mobley can be a movement and set shooter as a center; a terrifying thought.

Mobley is in the upper tier of polished offensive big prospects, and his frame, skills, and instincts give him a limitless offensive ceiling. His size and shooting ability combined with instincts mean he should be an impact player offensively from the start.

For a big man, he really has no offensive weaknesses relative to his position. Not even Karl-Anthony Towns was this impressive coming out. That skill combined with positional versatility is a bonafide stud.
