Gobert currently in 4th place in the NBA's Blocks per game column...with limited minutes.

ruuuuuudy

ruuuuudy!


it might be time to move Kanter and avoid over paying for a guy who can't guard a corpse on defense.

Yes limited minutes but the games that are really increasing that average are ones where he played 30+ minutes.

Gobert is turning into a monster and now he is showing more than just being a defensive presence. He can steal and assist.

Drink the kool aid and hop on this bandwagon. I'll drive it right over the edge if I have to!

Rudy is leading the league in blocks by 7'1" french dudes with 7'9" wingspans.

I share the feelings but that original post lacks some stats. Some people choose not to google and have all the info and talk here.

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

So you're saying Gobert can be our defensive anchor? Is that what you're trying to say?

I'm okay with that.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I like that his presence on the court have made Favors and Hayward better as well. I love the Gobert/Favors pairing, and I'm ecstatic that it seems to be working down low. if the wings and guards can play up to that level (or go get new ones who can play at that level) then this is going to be a dangerous team in the future.
