Dok at the rim

Maybe it's just me but watching Dok receiving passes inside and dunking over people, there are a few instances where I find myself wondering if Gobert would have caught the pass and if he would have been able to power in the dunk. Don't get me wrong -- I love Rudy and I know he's way better and way more valuable overall. I just feel like Dok has a strength which is good hands and good forceful dunking.

Probably blasphemy but just a thought.

Rudy doesn't overpower people very often. He needs to be positioned really deep in order to go up strong. Rudy actually tries to finish with more finesse. Dok is a brute. He's got so much mass up high when he goes up, it's very difficult for defenders to make a play on him.
 
Part of this is center of gravity. Rudy's COG is really high up, making it hard for him to power like this unless he has some momentum. It is also pure bulk and strength and Dok is just more massive and stronger than Rudy. It is a good thing about Dok, for sure. He has been a surprising high-point recently. Happy for him.
 
I love Dok but I wish he was even more violent with the rebounding and dunks. I get the feeling that if he plays angry, he will be a monster.

He is a sleeping giant. Once he gets more and more confidence, watch out.

Yup definitely a sleeping giant. Stoked on Dok.
