Rudy Gobert sucks at basketball

As a Jazz fan, when the initial trade went down I wanted it to be in the Jazz favor. I didn't necessarily want Rudy to suck, I just wanted it to be a "good trade".

This has surpassed it by miles. This is absurd. The pain hasn't even started for Minnesota. I feel gross.

21 year old superstar living in Minnesota? Ya I'm sure he will love it there.
 
I have been thinking about this very thing all year, or perhaps just for the last month. Maybe it's just been this week. Well... just today.

Now that I think back, I'll just admit that it hasn't been on my radar. At all.

No. I'm up, and it's 10:26 pm. I walked into the kitchen, and forgot why I was there. I remember; just want a sandwich. Maybe some dijon.

Great thread.

I think this Rudy decline is being overstated. He may be past his prime but I think he ages similar to Mutombo where he stays a really solid player into his mid 30's.

His defense last year was still very good by most metrics and part of how noticeable the decline has been is based on how great he has been his whole career. If he can flatten out the decline, then he will still be a very impactful player for awhile.

The physical decline has been happening for a couple of years now though. It took awhile for opponents to realize this, but now you can see there just isn't much fear from opponents trying to score inside on him any more.

I like Rudy quite a bit. I would love to see the old Rudy play again, or at least he can flatten out the decline. My guess is that at best we see glimpses of that guy throughout the year.
 
I wouldn’t ever say he sucks. He plays in the NBA so that alone means he doesn’t suck. But he has lost a huge step. Kessler last year made me realize how much he does that Gobert never did. Amazing time to be a Jazz fan

Yeah I guess, but it is a different game. The days of mutombo or Eaton plugging the lane in late career looks different with todays athletes snd spacing.

Mutombo had a significantly better offensive game than Rudy, for one he had a jump hook.
