Zach Lowe Haad Some Nice Things to Say About...

Gordon Hayward is such a talented gamer. He's a guy I'd like to have in my Dota 2 team.
 
Gobert at some point was predicted to be the #1 pick by dx very early in the 2013 process and midway thru.
 

Still, quite a draft-day steal by Lindsey. And he told us all before the draft he was going to take Gobert. Well, not in so many words, but it was pretty evident when he spoke about an international player everyone else was sleeping on who he meant. After so many drafts under the direction of "Stonewall" O'Connor, I remember being absolutely SHOCKED our GM would let us in on the secret. Then I wondered if it wasn't just a big bluff.
 

Oh okay ;)

Yeah his physical projection was pretty massive given how mobile he is. Then his skill development didn't come along as rapidly as they hoped and he struggled adapting to pro player bodies and now that his physical development is coming along he's much more comfortable defending the paint.

Will be interesting to see how big of an opportunity he can earn this season.
 
just needs to learn how to hold on to the ball. 'hey, fella, that's not what a 'soft touch' is....' I still like him, and hope that he becomes a major part of going forward. neat that folks thought he had top five potential at one time or another.

A bit of revisionist history here. The Jazz got Gobert merely as a value pick at #27. If DL was that high on him would have not done the Burke trade and taken him either 14 or 21.
