Putting Evan Mobley on Jalen Brunson is one of those ideas that sounds wild until Coach Nick breaks down exactly why length can disrupt a shifty guard more than pure speed ever could.
Brunson's burst isn't just raw quickness — it's the deception. The change of pace. The way he makes defenders commit before he even decides what he's doing. But when you put a 6'11" Mobley in front of him, the calculus changes. Brunson probably doesn't even try to isolate. He goes downhill immediately, and Mobley can give him a couple extra feet of cushion while still getting a hand in the passing lane on any pull-up.
The Cavs might just decide they'd rather live with Brunson hitting tough threes than letting him get downhill at will. That's the tradeoff Combo and Coach Nick are laying out here — and honestly, it's a smart one. #shorts
