Maybe he has a night job

Just a FYI if my pick happens during the day you may be saying this about me, just be patient I'm going to be checking the site every day as soon as I get home from work. If you get bored you can send me a trade offer.

This.

We've all used him at one time or another.
 
Sorry about the delay. I've been stuck in football practice and meetings since 5 pm. Wanted to look at my trade offers, but nothing that I'm really high enough on to pass on my guy. Might be too early, but he's the guy that makes my plan work. Just such a genuinely unique talent.

Big thanks to LogGrad last year for the writeup. . .

The numbers are staggering. Utah has the league’s top defense since February, allowing just 95.7 points per 100 possessions according to nba.com/stats, shaving almost nine points per 100 possessions from its previous total. Since the Kanter trade, the Jazz have allowed just 89.3 points per 100 possessions. It’s a remarkable turnaround for a team that ranked dead last defensively the previous season.

Even with a limited offensive game, Gobert is averaging 11 points and 14 rebounds while shooting over 57 percent since moving into the starting lineup. His star has risen so quickly that the Jazz are taking extra care to point out that their defense started picking up before the trade and that it’s a collective effort that features -- among others -- Favors and rookie point guard Dante Exum.
He ranks fourth in the league in blocks per game (2.3) and his 186 swats are second most overall.

• Opponents shoot just 39.9 percent at the rim against Gobert, according to the NBA's data, the lowest mark among players who defend at least five shots there a game.

• The 7-foot-1 Frenchman ranks 15th in defensive rebounding (505), corralling more than 26 percent of all his team's defensive rebounding chances when he's on the court.

• And in the Jazz's defensive transformation, which has seen the team go from the NBA's worst defensive unit last year to its best since the All-Star break, no single player has had a bigger impact than Gobert.

"There aren't many guys that can have an impact on the game without scoring," Minnesota coach Flip Saunders said. "He can have impact without scoring."
