Rudy Gobert "Greatest Jazz Center of All Time" Countdown Thread

Seriously. And does anyone really doubt that barring trade or injury, that Gobert will in fact get to #1 on the list? I don't.

He simply has to produce at the same level that he did in the second half of his second season for longer and he runs away with it.

how about Derrick Favors "next greatest jazz Power forward" of all time?

I love Derrick Favors but nobody is passing Malone for that spot for a long time. If Favors is still playing at last years level 10-12 years from now maybe we can start comparing the stats. Till then it's pointless to even consider.

Actually even then it would be pointless. Malone probably had 10-12 years that were better than Favors was last year.

I think he meant "second greatest". I would hope he did.

99.9% inevitable, but not quit yet, IMO. I'm one of the biggest Gobert homers there is, but he has to have at least a few seasons averaging double/doubles and 4 blocks/per before he bumps off Mark Eaton. Eaton had a pretty dominating 6 yr. run defensively.

Of course Rudy has a LOT more potential offensively. I expect him to be in double digit points beginning next season. And while Eaton was a punishing force inside, he couldn't come out and guard further out like Gobert can. And I will FOREVER be indebted to Rudy choosing last year to explode. Had he needed just one more season of development to really show off what he could do, the Jazz would have likely given Kanter a max contract to remain.

No. My decision was final.
