In a move that has sent shockwaves through the NBA fan community, newly appointed Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson announced today that power forward Evan Mobley will be transitioning into a full-time starting center for the upcoming season.
Atkinson, speaking during a post-practice media session, praised Mobley’s growth and versatility, saying, “Evan has shown elite defensive instincts, footwork, and court awareness. We’ve seen enough to know that he’s ready to anchor our defense and take on a more dominant role in the paint.”
Fans were quick to react on social media, with many expressing surprise and concern over what this might mean for the team’s lineup, particularly the future of center Jarrett Allen, who has been a mainstay in the starting five.
Speculation is now swirling about potential lineup shifts or even trade implications. As the Cavaliers gear up for a crucial season, all eyes will be on how this bold decision reshapes the team’s identity.
