Gobert announced that he will not play for France unless they make the qualification round down in Brazil. He is going to remain in SLC and work on his game and rest.

This is GREAT news and I wonder if Exum's injury last offseason has anything to do with it. DL was happy to let Gobert play as much Int. Ball as he wanted last year but not this year.

Favors is based in SLC as well. Wonder how many others will stick around and help push each other.

Work on your hands Gobert!!!

I can't lie I have wanted this since last season. Great to see DL finally taking control and putting his foot down.

Lol, DL was happy to let Gobert play last summer as well. He needed the court time.

This summer is different and he needs to rest and do skills work.

Gobert is smart and realistic. That's great.

mods, please don't let this thread get nikkk'd

oh wait.

never mind, I agree with nickkk. DL obviously dressed Gobert in this suit and put him in his very own basement. Custom sewn, of course.

That's pretty much a guarantee they make the qualification round though, right? So he will eventually be playing for France this year.

It's still a lot better than to go play the entire summer. I would rather have him working out and not playing basketball much at all though.

Would he be doing this if he wasn't up for an extension is the question.
Talk is cheap. Gobert talked a lot about coming back stronger and improving last off season and regressed.
