Gobert -- felt like a Deron situation

Yep, he looked more solid than Zeller, Noel, Dieng and Plumlee. If he bulks up a bit, we may have a taller, longer version of Alonzo Mourning on our hands. He needs to develop a hook shot with either hand and beast his way to the rim.

And if we kept the 14th pick we could have had Giannis. Oh well.

He has a long way to go before reaching Zo level. He averaged 20 PPG (or just under) for 8 seasons in a row.

That's why working hard and only and only and ONLY caring about balling is the most important thing in this league.

It's easy when you have talent to try and compare them to someone else. I hope that we have a guy on our hands that you can't compare. The leagues first ever Rudy Gobert.

I think Rudy could me more of a Dikembe Mutombo type IMHO

Normally I would say that there could not be anyone that could become a D. Mutombo type player. And I am not saying Gobert is that guy, but I will keep my fingers crossed. Never say never. I just hope that if he is, the Jazz don't mess it up.
Tony Parker was 28th and Manu was 57th. Does the NBA still undervalue many international players with no college experience, or is the draft just damn hard?
Poop floats as well.

Well said. Let's enjoy Rudy for the player he is now and for the player he will become. Maybe he's a poor-man's Hassan Whiteside (just kidding). Gobert is part of a very good big rotation (if Utah can get Kanter refocused). Maybe all of them play <30 mins. That will affect overall numbers. I do agree he needs to develop 1-2 'go-to' shots. But even when he doesn't get a ton of blocks, he changes shots. Adn his presence causes guards to drive, stop, and back the ball out again.
