Gimmee Gimme Encore de Gobert

Non, je ne veux pas regarder Rudy Gobert dans le terrain car il est straight up sucks et il est trop brut.

Mais c'est amusant de voir lui tromper dans le terrain. Vous savez, c'est la saison danslaquelle on tanque.

Français niveau b2.
 
Absolutely not.

Gotta keep Marvin as a starter so he can get a new contract.

Send Gobert back to the D League.
 
Gobert needs to work on his man-to-man defense. I think he's a much better zone defender at this point and he gets overly-aggressive playing man and gets called for the foul. I think he needs to gain some weight and get some playing time to help remedy this.

I hope we get to keep him long-term and he doesn't bolt to another team - the guy has a lot of potential and he shows flashes of awesome; and his dunce-cap flashes are mainly because he's a rookie who sometimes gets confused.
 
Dude needs a sandwich more than he needs minutes right now. I think he's got potential to be like Tag-plus, possibly Eaton-like if he really hits the weights (Eaton was one of those man-mountains who was just freakishly big and wide). The advantage he has over Tag is he seems to really want to play every time he gets on the floor. He's just going to have to bulk up a little and learn to play at an NBA pace (ie not reacting to a pass after it has already gone through his hands and out of bounds). Looks promising to me, though... FWIW.
 
Ostertag and Eaton would have a harder time playing in today's NBA which is dominated by athletic players, not to mention the rule changes that have taken away contact. Gobert has an advantage because he's fairly mobile. I'm thrilled with what he's shown this far, especially his DESIRE to play. It was great that he expressed some frustration over being sent down, But then he went and showed off his skills. Everyone knew he was raw; that's why he was available in the 20's instead of being a lottery pick. Give him a couple of years and I think it will be acknowledged Utah got the steal of the draft.

You better forget about that. He will be a steal for sure but the biggest steal of this draft is Giannis aka "The Greek Freak".
 
It will be interesting to see how the 2013 draft bears out for the future. Won't surprise me at all to see that Trey Burke and Giannis Antetokounmpo should have been top 5 players and that Rudy Gobert should have gone lottery. I'd rather have Rudy at 27 (that still seems crazy to me) over Alex Len at 5, Nerlens Noel (torn ACL) at 6 or any other big guy other than Stevens Adams.
