Now, we have 450 players or so in our universe for most surprising, most disappointing

0:05.1

player.

0:05.7

I think I'd have to go, Evan Mobley is my most surprising player, though.

0:09.1

I have a top five player in basketball this year, and he never was an all-star for me

0:14.0

before this.

0:14.8

Yeah, I, he, I mean, I do think he is, it's surprising that he's doing this, but he was

0:19.3

not even on my list of candidates.

0:21.7

I, I've liked Evan Mobley. I didn't expect this, this year, but I've liked the track he's on.

1:11.6

level standpoint, he's just gotten so much tougher, so much better as a finisher, still anchoring
