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

Thee jazz fan said:
In my eyes he’s past Eaton. No disrespect to Eaton, but Eaton would not be nearly what he is had he played in today’s nba. Had Gobert played in the 80’s and 90’s, he would’ve averaged 5-6 blocks in the era of the center and playing inside the three point line living in the post. It’s really not close IMO.

Gobert will never have the sky hook Eaton had!! If Eaton used that today, and back then nobody could teach a leftie how to shoot!!!

I legit believe he would have been the difference maker for us. We needed that one more solid piece. Center was always our soft spot. Still don't get why he wouldn't come.

Um, is that an insult of some kind? Maybe that he has a rag made out of an ostrich? Does he like to clean ostriches or something? Is that a bad thing?

It is an insult because he was tall and funny looking, the whole league thought he sucked as do I, if he was so good we wouldn't have needed seikaly. At least foster sucked less. Carr was good, I liked his glasses

Wonder why he stopped doing it

I want to say I read somewhere that Quin told him to knock it off when he failed to get back on defense because he was distracted at some point.

The clip that shows Rudy saluting the bench and a couple players (Hood and Elijah Millsap I think) saluting back is still just as awesome as when it happened.
 
Has Eaton ever cried for not getting selected to the All-Star? No he didn't because he was an All-Star in 88-89. You have much work to do Rudy. And you're yet to trap a layup/dunk on the backboard w/o jumping.

Rudy will never be the most offensively talented bigman obviously, but are we looking for the one that affected the Jazz success the most? I think look no further than this guy.

Advanced stats?
Win shares for career:
Memo has 54.7 in 10 seasons (7 for the Jazz)
Eaton has 44.8 in 11 seasons
Rudy already piled up 52.8 in 6 seasons.

More?
Per 100 possesions Offensive Rating Defensive Rating Average Net:
Memo: 114-107 = +7
Eaton: 97-100 = -3
Gobert: 124 -99 = +25

Will you be updating the list, or have you retired from it?

Maybe we should somehow steer Framer to the nearest company, who sells Microsoft CSP licenses? :). Office 365 Business + Power BI should cost about 20 USD per month. Actually it can be purchased a la for 1 day only assuming the it is not problem for a seller (already creating the invoice for that tiny amount negates the profits for the seller :) ).
 
Threads like this are when you know the NBA season just needs to start. Dipping into half-decade old threads that had a terrible topic and reliving them? Good grief. Go jog against traffic on the freeway if your that bored.
