CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Evan Mobley was named first team all-defense by the NBA Thursday.
Mobley, 23, had already been named Defensive Player of the Year so his inclusion on the team, for the 2nd time, is not a surprise.
Mobley and LeBron James are the only Cavs to make first team all-defense multiple times.
Mobley received 99 of a possible 100 votes on the first team. He was named on all 100 ballots.
Jarrett Allen received four second team votes. https://t.co/3nBv9vP5um
