James Harden admits he is demanding more from Evan Mobley after another standout night

Evan Mobley has always been tapped to have superstar potential. He already has a Defensive Player of the Year award under his belt, but every Cleveland Cavaliers fan can admit that he is capable of doing more.

Veteran point guard and former MVP James Harden agrees. Even though Mobley had a standout performance with 27 points and 15 rebounds against the Milwaukee Bucks, Harden wants more from his big man.

Harden wants better performances from Mobley

Over the past few seasons, Mobley has been one of the most promising players on the Cavaliers roster. Everyone knows he is arguably the best defender in the league. However, he has tremendous upside offensively.

Donovan Mitchell is the clear superstar who takes over the offense. However, Mobley can also do that if he continues to work on his game. He is already unlocking a big part of his offense, as he is playing alongside Harden as his point guard.

Due to Harden's dynamic with Mobley, he feels there is more to unlock from the reigning DPOY. It is a challenging role to be elite on both ends of the floor, but it is made easier by playing alongside elite talents.

After his superb night against Milwaukee, Harden wants more from his big man. That is a common desire to have because Mobley has all the talent in the world to live up to those expectations.

"He should’ve had 35 and 20, but I’ll take it. Just being aggressive on both ends of the basketball. He’s our anchor defensively, so running around the rim, finishing the basketball, and just being in our offense," Harden said about Mobley after the game.

Moving forward, Mobley will be playing alongside a fantastic player. His point guard and shooting guard are elite offensive players, and that should rub off on both Mobley and Jarrett Allen.
