Reddit: Rudy Gobert with 3409 career minutes, he has never made a shot outside of 10 feet

According to Basketball Reference, he's 0-14 from outside 10 feet. Taken 5 shots from 10-16, 7 from 16 <3, and 2 threes.
Was wondering if he had shown an outside shot at all so far after reading Zach Lowe's article on the Jazz, and thinking about the question of Derrick Favors and Gobert working together on offense.
Shooting 60% from the free throw line for his career btw.

Ouch.

If we're continuing to go with two traditional bigs, I'd love to see his FT% to go up to about 65% and Derrick's to go up to about 75%.

In 7216 minutes Kanter went 50% on effort.

However, during that same stretch he was 100% on being a bitch.

The amazing this about this is while playing in Europe Rudy took some jumpers.

With Rudy's height, you never want him to be 10 ft+ away. Just get him close, have a player throw it up and it either goes in or he gets the rebound. Much better percentage than having him try to shoot from 15 ft.

It also puts a lot of pressure on the rim protector. Step in and help to stop the drive and leave Rudy open for the lob or hope your guard/wing can recover.

If our wings/guards could get better at the short lob a lot would open up. They usually drive a step too far and then make a bad pass. (Except Burks somehow he makes a layup)

From ksl article:

The next step for Gobert is to start flashing his jumpshot in games, another shot that he works on extensively in practice. I asked Gobert when we'll start to see that.

"It's coming too," Gobert said. "Whenever I'm open, I'm gonna shoot it."

The Jazz are ruining Rudy. They are instructing him not to shoot.
