USC Freshman Evan Mobley Declares for NBA Draft
USC Trojans star center Evan Mobley has completed his one-and-done season at the NCAA level and has now declared for the NBA Draft. Mobley had an incredible Freshman year, winning PAC-12 Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year & Freshman of the Year - the first player to win all three awards in the same season.

Widely regarded as one of the top-2 prospects along with Cade Cunningham, Mobley is a legitimate 7'0" big man who has drawn comparisons to All-NBA players like Chris Bosh and the recently retired LaMarcus Aldridge, as a big man who has a solid outside shooting touch, handles and ability to finish above the rim. However, it's Mobley's defense that has many members of tanking teams excited. He has the potential to be a game-changer on the defensive end, as shown by his 2.8 bpg in his one season as a Trojan. Needless to say, there are some pretty high expectations for the young man from California.

We currently have Mobley ranked #2 on our 2021 NBA Draft Big Board, however, don’t be surprised if he gets consideration for the #1 pick, depending on which team will be selecting.
Look for Mobley to challenge Cunningham for the number one selection in this year's draft, and don't be surprised to see some fan-friendly content from him along the way, as he tweeted his decision to enter the draft and created an NFT for a fan to purchase as memorabilia.
