Gobert locks down Doncic: Best Twitter Reactions

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Edges him out on blocks by a significant amount.

More blocks to be had in Dikembe Mutombo Era. Less spread out offense with lots of post up and more paint offense in general.

There's a reason. People stop going at Rudy. He turns away more drives into the paint than any player I've ever seen. They just refuse to challenge him so his opportunities for blocks diminish.

Great point, but you can only compare stats when what's presented is a list of stats.

3.2 blocks vs 2.2 blocks is kind of huge. 2.2 blocks is extremely respectable, 3.2 is up there in the elite of the elite range. Eaton had the best average ever at 3.51.

Yeah, if there was a "NOPE" stat I think Gobert would be the all-time leader in that stat and it wouldn't be close.

And if they didn't nope on out of there his blocks would be a lot higher.

Howard beats Gobert in two categories -- points and steals -- by 3 points and 0.2 steals per 36. Dwight was regarded as one of the top 5 players in the league for a while, and top 10 for quite a while.

Also, I messed up on the blocks per 36 for Rudy and had them at 2.2 when it's really 2.7. I'll go correct that.

I have always felt Gobert was a top 7 player
