"Evan Mobley, you know who is shooting better from three-point range than he has in the past… he’s averaging more points in the paint than he has at about 18 per game taking nearly 13 shots per game."

Stephen A. Smith, ESPN Analyst

Draymond Green, Golden State Warriors Forward

"Two years ago, we would say the Celtics team are winning the games they need to win to put themselves in position to win when it matters most. We’re saying the same things about the Cleveland Cavaliers and I think their X-factor is Evan Mobley. We knew Donovan Mitchell could play and Darius Garland is an all-star. We’ve been waiting for this guy to develop. As (Kendrick Perkins) Perk would say, they put a key in his back. I love it. It started last year against the Celtics. He brought confidence into this year and right now he's averaging 18 and 8.5 rebounds... To me, what I love is how he's being utilized. He has the ball in his hands for him to get in rhythm. He's initiating the offense. I love the growth and he's been the key factor for making sure that chemistry keeps going."

Chiney Ogwumike, ESPN Analyst and Former WNBA Player

"Evan Mobley is expanding his game…I thought he had like an Anthony Davis type game when he came out, now he has expanded that game. He is starting to show why they took him so high in the draft."

Shannon Sharpe, ESPN Analyst and Former NFL Player

"This kid Mobley is really balling. They’re just a very versatile team and a team you can tell their decisions are quick… They can start with two bigs with Allen and Mobley which is old school. We don’t really see that anymore but they’re two guys that can really move their feet and it’s still tough to score over those two seven footers."

Joakim Noah, Former NBA All-Star

"Evan Mobley will be an all-star, so will Darius Garland.. They got Donovan Mitchell. Cleveland I believe they can win the east."

Kenny "The Jet" Smith, TNT Analyst and Former NBA Player

Jarrett Allen

"They've been together for 2 years now, Donovan, DG, Mobley and Jarrett, like all them, they've been there, so they kind of know what their roles are and they're kind of clicking right now. So it's a tough team to play, tough team to beat."

Tyrese Maxey, Philadelphia 76ers Guard

"With their two bigs (Evan Mobley & Jarrett Allen) protecting the paint, being physical and using their length they do a great job of protecting each other. When one’s not there, the other one is there. And then most times they’re both there."

Kris Middleton, Milwaukee Bucks Forward

"They're a good team. They're number one in the East for a reason. They got the best record for a reason. They're a good team, right, and they got the two towers down there (Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen), and how well Donovan and Darius are playing, they make it a tough matchup."

Paul George, Philadelphia 76ers Forward
