Shooting Extends one Career...So Gobert...

The thread is not about value to the team. The thread is about evolving a players game to minimize wear and tear and extend their effective playing years. Malone did that by changing his game and developing different skills.

Another misconception spreading like wild-fire. Gobert shooting midrange means absolutely nothing in terms of health. Who thinks of this? Tristan Thompson was once nic named the "iron man" because he (recently) held an active record for games played without injury. Plus there are hundreds of players who played inside that stayed healthy throughout their careers,some of which are examples for the displaying the best longevity of any players in history.
KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR would be the first that comes to mind.
Robert Parish
Dennis Rodman (and he was drunk and drugged half the time)
Bill Laimbeer.
Kevin Garnett up to his 2009 injury.
There's hundreds.

Plus, why in the hell would anyone be concerned about Gobert shooting outside when you have, Mitchell, Ingles, Conley, Bogdanovich, surrounding him? You want him taking a shot over those guys on the floor? Very productive.
 
How does developing a mid range shooting ability keep you from getting injured????? This is insane. We have 60 years of history and stats with inside centers that had little to NO mid range game, play and maintain healthy careers. A few of which, set the bar. We also have people that see a debate in this subject. Robert Parish and Kareem. *Drop the Mic*. Good luck naysayers.
 
While all you wanabe coaches and experts are talking rubbish Rudy is working on his 3 pt shot. Eat that " he does not need jumper" crowd.

 
It appears that Rudy's shooting ability is a touchy subject. I change my mind I want him to be limited so it is easier to defend him and the opponents bang, hit and punish him down low.

Him developing a 5 ft hook shot is a valuable piece. Unlike an 18 ft jumper

Oh I’m great at maths. I just enjoy running my big mouth

I still say I was incredibly unlucky and the victim of the longest of odds
 
We already watched Favors brick 3s the last few seasons. Don't force feed plays onto players who can't perform it.
