Evan Mobley of the Cleveland Cavaliers remains atop the NBA Rookie of the Year power rankings for this week.

That's despite Mobley averaging just 11.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game last week. Mobley remains a defensive presence for the Cavaliers, which is not shown on the stat sheet.

However, Mobley has to start producing more on the offensive end in the coming week if he wants to remain number one in the rankings. Josh Giddey is playing out of his mind at the moment and he could force his way to the top.
