The frequency that Gobert gets challenged at the rim is higher than i expected as well. Though guys like rudy and kessler really really hate leaving the rim area on defense so of course they will get challenged more than a lot of the others on the list simply due to how rarely they go out on the perimeter to defend.
No we are not looking at an Embiid level big if he keeps developing.
That would require a shooting touch he hasn’t shown beyond a couple feet. His free throw shooting isn’t indicative of that happening.
He averaged 1.5 attempts in college(only 20% made) and drained one this year so I think it's something that he can develop over the years. He'll never be Embiid level but I think he can bring that up to the 30's and at least be a threat.
Kessler looks small next to Gobert
I hope Kessler develops this reputation and gets to a point where no one wants to challenge him inside.
Yes he could be a franchise player but why are you comparing him to Embiid? Lol
He will never have Embiid’s offense, but that won’t stop him from being one of the best.
Right on both accounts
Is that a good nickname?
If you have any idea of popular culture from, damn, 30 years ago. First episode of the TV show (Walker, Texas Ranger) aired in 1993.
