I absolutely love this thread... but i don't love that there are two of them with almost exactly the same name. Wouldn't it be possible to merge them or something?
I can't believe you could say this about Eaton... Clearly you must be too young to have watched Eaton play. His defense would destroy centers in todays game. Not only that but he did a lot of the little things that never make it to the stat sheet, except in the teams W column. I would be completely satisfied if he developed to be half the player that Eaton was.
You'll be disappointed if he is only an All-Star and a DPOY?
lol
Give us an example of the level that Gobert would have to reach to not disappoint you.
This.
And this.
Eaton was a helluva player in his day. Couldn't shoot to save his life, but he sure could change plays. For what it's worth, I'd likely rank Eaton ahead of Memo and Jefferson because he was so dominant defensively.
That said, Gobert has already shown incredible athleticism for a man his size. That block and dunk was phenomenal! There aren't too many centers who could block the ball and then be the first player down the court. There is certainly a chance Gobert DOES surpass all the rest. Will never be quite as imposing as Mark, but he'll be better offensively.
Framer...can I make a suggestion?
If you keep updating this thread. perhaps do it on combined points, rebounds and blocks. I know you list all of them, including assists, but it looks like the rankings are only on points scored as a Jazz player. Gobert is likely going to have more nights of single-digit points and double-digit rebounds than the other way around.

You think he would get playing time in today's league?

Gobert has Mark Eaton tennis racket hands. Got down it he'd have so much potential with hands that don't betray him like an infant's.
I think you meant next 4 "posts."No, because the second thread held the next 4 threads for future expansion.
