Exhibit 01Negative.LAL flair
36 minutes and 1 rebound for Mobley is borderline criminal

Exhibit 02Negative.DET flair
Mobley has been absolutely nonexistent this series. 9 points and 1 rebound is crazy work.

Exhibit 03Negative.TOR flair
Evan Mobley is the most anonymous player. Looks like a generic create a player on 2K, has very little to his game after 5 years and all that "New KG" hype, can't score vs a small front court Toronto is throwing out. Like wtf? 8 points??
