Evan Mobley was supposed to develop into a team-leading star for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
At this point, it's questionable whether he should even be on the floor at the end of games in the playoff series against the Detroit Pistons.
The Cavs are down 0-2, and it's far from just Mobley's fault, but it's really not been good from the talented big fella.
For example, on Thursday night, Mobley finished with 1 rebound in 36 minutes.

The defensive impact was clearly a Mobley-esque performance. But in some ways, so was the lack of impact at the other end.
He's never quite put all the pieces together to dominate when he's supposed to. Teams switch relatively freely against Mobley because he doesn't always punish those smaller defenders anyway.
