Gobert highlights vs lakers

You know you have a guy with length when it bothers Gasol. Plus the energy and strength when he goes up for a dunk. Just fantastic to see. He so clearly deserves time over Brickins.


that's right, I'm looking at you Franklin*.

One thing I did like from "Brickins" is I noticed he was flying off the bench cheering Gobert on after a dunk. If he's is going to have that attitude then he's
going to work just fine as end of the bench player.
 
Love this kid. Pretty surprising he fell to that pick. As the saying goes, you can't teach height. Plus--he's not a stiff. Clearly has athleticism, and it's great to see the desire to dunk it after some of our recent bigs have often shied away from contact.

To me the most surprising thing is how quickly he reacts to passes, loose balls and rebounds. I knew he had great length and needed to add strength. But he moves at the speed of a NBA game.

Playing in a pro league will almost always prepare the player for nba speed better than college does
 
He's surprisingly quick off his feet. I loved he sequence where he was rebounding in traffic, tipped the ball to himself off he board and then dunked it. It shows he has worlds of confidence as a rebounder.
 
I've not been this excited for a Jazz player in quite some time! As I've said before, he's rawer than Hannibal Lecter's lamb chops, but wow he looks promising in these last two games.

-Great Motor
-Solid defensive fundamentals
-Game changer with his rim-protecting presence
-Soft and good hands
-Soft touch on his shot; decent ft shooter
-Can use both hands
-Good timing
-Attacks the rim

This is a great base to build on!
 
I was particularly impressed 1) with that last pick and roll play 2) his grabbing of that poor pass in traffic (seemingly really good hands)
 
One thing's pretty clear: Gobert will be in the rotation, probably right away. At least over Evans--far, far, far, far more interesting prospect.

I think the quickness aspect should not be underestimated for a guy this big. He is almost as tall as Mark Eaton, but would run circles around the great redwood tree that is Mark Eaton. His energy is exciting.
