My favorite thing about Gobert.. What's yours?

[freakazoid]

Off the top of my head:
-

His blocks
His attitude
His dunks
His accent
His passing ability
He's from France
The fear he strikes into his opponents
His steals
His boyish good looks
His assists
His sense of humor
He's pretty tall
His nicknames
He's a badass
He plays for Utah
His rookie contract
His tweets
His determination
The chip on his shoulder
He wears 27 to remind everyone
His presence
Stole him from Denver
He's not Kanter
His influence on his teammates
His wing span
He's a winner

*Not necessarily in that order

He is some kind of monster-beast hybrid from outer space or something. I can't wait for his quadruple doubles to start. When will he post a 15 pt, 20 reb. 12 block, 10 assist (or steal) game first? Probably next season. GO GO GOBERT!!

He is a true rim protector - not just a guy who gets a lot of blocks by jumping out of position at every opportunity to pad his stats.

Best thing since canned bread.

His intensity. Teammates work harder on defense because they HAVE to. Otherwise, Rudy would chew them out. I do agree, hawkeye, that it's fun to see him develop from being so raw. I was downright giddy when he made that eurostep move several games ago. Then my jaw dropped when all he needed was one dribble to get to the basket from near the 3PT line. Seems like he just keeps coming up with amazing new things all the time. I'm not going to be surprised if he starts making 3's next season.

Like he powered around Gasol last night for that basket. Gasol was pissed to. He can see the writing on the wall. They all can.

All I want to know is when did the Grizz do a cheer till the end of the season when they don't have to fear Utah.

My favorite thing is that utah has him basically under contract for the next seven years. We have to give him that five year extension.

If he continues this level of play and growth you give him that 5 year max and what ever else he wants. When Gobert asks for DLs wife and daughter DL better respond with "what time should I have them delivered and what do you want them to wear?

I have never noticed a player change the other team's offense this much. First quarter they try to take it inside and get swatted. After that they drive toward the lane with one thought: "where do I pass it out to?". I have seen guys wide open 10 feet out not even thinking of shooting.

Gobert created this culture and players like Favors, Exum and Millsap are dramatically improving it. Exum and Millsap hound people on the perimeter. When a player beats them they then have to get past Favors or Gobert. If they do that you can see the defeat in their eyes when they still have either Favors or Gobert to get by with 0 room to move.

Rudy has officially killed the tank. The best thing is that a player of his caliber could reel in quality free agents, it's time to go all in.

I agree with this. I would think that if the Jazz keep up this level of play and D (I think they will) then Utah would be a very attractive place for players to come. A young, hungry up and coming team, loaded with talent, a good coach and staff and elite D. Sounds like a winner to me. Especially if DL throws a bunch of money at them.

Remember when D-Will was here and we were awesome and we lured top FA such as Raja Bell? Yeah, Utah is never going to be a top FA destination and I don't think Rudy will make that big of a difference unless we are clear cut Championship favorites. Maybe we can get Batum doe.
