Gobert should start

Rudy has to start.

I love Enes but there is no denying we're playing better with him as a starter. Please have a seat on the bench Mr. Kanter...

Gobert is insanely good. 11 points 13 rebounds and five blocks. Now he just needs to get more consistent. With gobert starting, we could be a playoff team next year. Insane. This development is almost as surprising as jimmy butler has been this year in Chicago. Who thought rudy was going to be this good this quick? I picked him in that homer thread before the draft in 2013, and I never thought he would have this potential. Amazing.
 
One_Brow is suspiciously absent.

Oh, I was wrong about Gobert maybe being average. He's definitely above average as well. Just dismantled a very good Chicago front court.

It's ok to make that omission. At the rate he is going, he will go from being a nobody to a superstar by the end of the season. It's the single most exciting thing about the Jazz since deron Williams. Hayward is nice, but he has been steadily improving, not by leaps and bounds like gobert.

Rudy's got really long legs, so leaps and bounds are probably easier for him, tbh.
 
I seem to remember back in the day that it was Jerry Sloan who recommended for Lindsey to pick Gobert. Sloan pointed him out at the work out and said, "He's a hard worker. Get him."

Not sure where I heard that anecdote, but I definitely remember it.

Ya I definitely heard that too. I am pretty sure David Locke said it.
 
I'm not sure when Kanter is due back, but if these performances keep up Quin will really have to put a stamp on this team and say he's flat out starting whoever is better regardless of tenure. Don't go all Ty and put Kanter back in the starting line-up because that's what the starting line-up was intended to be.

Yep. And I don't think that will be an issue. I think this season was very much about letting the young guys earn their stripes and sort out who was the future. Kanter will be a serviceable big for years to come, but my $ is that it's somewhere else. Gobert + Favors is the future here. Gobert's length/athleticism is otherworldly. Can't wait to see this cat in 5 years.

Would it shock anybody if Kanter is moved before the trade deadline? It wouldn't me. I think he's a decent player but I'm just not sure where he fits on this team now and I'm not sure he'll accept the bench. Gobert needs to start and Favors is still far better than Kanter.

I would not be surprised at all if he is gone before the deadline. The Jazz radio guys keep saying that kanter and trey seem to be on the way out.
