Gobert goes to Rio - OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED

I hope he doesn't plan on getting pregnant anytime soon...
 
I'm visiting family in Puerto Rico right now so the Zika stuff is always in the back of my mind, but I expect Gobert and Diaw should be OK. I have no experience in player development so I don't know how this affects Gobert, maybe others can weigh in on this.

Don't care how far France goes, but if he's going to be there. . . I hope Rudy tries to take on more of a scoring role for his team. Start shooting the damn ball. Early and often. Show some nice shooting, work on his post game, try some hook shots and put the team on his back. He has the drive, now he just needs to do it. I could see a successful run jump starting his 2016 season.
 
Did he improve at all by playing with the NT last year? Nope. He needs to be in a gym shooting FT's and working on a couple of offensive moves. IIRC, that was one of the comments last year, that the NT coach didn't let Rudy work on offense. Jazz can't ban their players from playing, but they should highly discourage it.

I completely agree with you. The Olympic Games present Gobert an opportunity to develop some offensive skills, but let's also hope he doesn't overexert himself. He looks somewhat frail and I think the Jazz will always have to limit his playing time to avoid fatigue and, especially, nagging injuries.
 
I understand the concerns about injuries, specially after what happened to Exum, but that's part of the game.

I'm not comfortable asking someone to not represent his country in such an important event, no matter what country he/she is from.

I wish Gobert the best of luck in the Olympics, just not against Brazil if this match happens! :-)

Haven't looked at it yet. Is Neto on the Brazillian team in Rio?
 
Zika Vírus is not a problem now in the winter.. The press are creating an alarmism... Just outside Brazil are talking about it.
