Georges Niang, currently playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, has drawn comparisons between his teammate Evan Mobley and former Jazz colleague Rudy Gobert.

Niang’s observations highlight Mobley’s remarkable ability to protect the rim, drawing similarities to Gobert’s defensive prowess during their time together in Utah.

While cautious about his remarks potentially going viral, Niang’s insights emphasize the defensive impact and shot-blocking proficiency shared by the two towering players.

“I would say Evan’s ability to protect the rim is, I don’t want to make a quote and have it go viral, but it’s along the lines of how Rudy Gobert protects the rim,” Niang said, per Chris Fedor.
