What's new

Gobert has blown away my expectations of him ...already

Better length than AK + similar athletic & offenense-wrecking ability + a desire to kill the spirit of opponents + the drive to improve every year = worth every penny.
 
Most important improvement is the ability to hit FT's. Isn't he leading the team in FT attempts. Last year, Quin couldn't play Rudy down the stretch in tight games because teams could just hack him. This year, he isn't a liability. As a result, Utah has the defense and rebounding late in games they were missing. I'd like to see him add a hook or other move. If he could be a threat out to 10-15 ft, look out!
 
Gobert has a ton of pride and almost an unhealthy drive to be the best. I can't wait to see him in a playoff series.
 
Quin has finally tailored the offense around Gobert (and Diaw). It has been beautiful to watch.



Hello 1992 and no thanks. I'd rather watch the show the Clippers have been putting on for years than the show Al Jefferson put on. Rudy is DeAndre on steroids, caffeine, PCP, Testosterone, ambition, and HOF potential. He doesn't need the ball in his hands to dominate.

Ew no.

If Rudy is far superior to DAJ (he is) then why the **** are we pigeon-holing him into a role that he's already mastered without even finishing his rookie contract yet?
 
Ever since Gobert signed the extension he has been playing amazing. He knows all eyes are on him and he's playing some amazing basketball.
 
Any bumps on the greatest center of all time thread?
 
When it's all said and done, historians will rank Gobert as one of the all-time draft steals in NBA history with the likes of Karl Malone and John Stockton.
 
I've officially put Gobert as my starting center in all-time line-up. Also likely moving Hayward into the 3 spot and could potentially move Hill to backup PG, depending on how things go.
