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

Also notice that Kanter is not in a position to do anything should the ball be kicked back to Nowitzki, because NO WAY he makes that three, right?

They shoot far fewer attempts, not make.

Yeah, I realize that. Bad wording on my part, but the question still stands. Why do they shoot so much more against Rudy than against Enes. The only thing I can figure is that when the shot at the rim is attempted defenders are assigned to it statistically based on proximity. Since Rudy contests everything no matter who is shooting his number is high. Since Enes often doesn't contest (even though the eventual shooter was often his man) his number is low.

IDK about that.

According to that graphic only 5 guys protect the rim better than Aldridge (the Jazz have two of them, yay!!!) His Defensive win shares is at 3.7 which is top 20 in the League. He is MUCH improved on defense the last couple of years.

You're correct. Rudy contests a lot, something like 65% of shots at the rim. Big difference maker.
 
Gobert contested %57.2 of shots at the rim while Enes contested %30.8. Interestingly enough Booker only contested %19.8. According to Nylon Calculus.
 
Just for the Record, Gobert will move into 16th place with a combination of points, steals, assists, blocks, and rebounds that reaches the magic number of 47. Hopefully he can get that by the second game of the season. My wife deleted the original file so I need to recalculate the top 15 in front of him. Sigh. . . .
 
Also, I noticed that #25 Neal Walk passed away a couple of weeks ago. Good guy, I was sorry to hear that.
