Larry Sanders is arguably the best big man defender in the NBA. Gobert doesn't have the strength to hold his own on the block right now.But Larry SAnders does not have a 9'7" reach. Gobert can be an elite defender...if he can add some weight.

Rudy Gobert jumped through all of the official hoops — buyout with French team, FIBA clearance — and officially signed with the Utah Jazz.
Except they can't just tag out at half court.Good. I'd rather have him developed here right away instead of waiting a few years. Neto is a different story. He can stay in Europe for a few. Too bad they haven't gotten Tomic to come over yet, I'd like to see what he and Gobert would look like as a tag-team. One 7+ for offense, and one for defense.
Time will tell..Everyone keep your feet on the ground. If Gobert is Larry Sanders, we should be throwing a party. Hell, I'm not sure Derrick Favors is as good as Larry Sanders.
He's already better than Evans.
