Has Kessler surpassed Gobert?

[Agent#00]

Rudy was terrrible as were all the team. Probably the worst game i ever seen Rudy play,

Draymond had 0 pts, 0 reb, 0 ast, 4 turnovers vs memphis. -42 in 19minutes
There.

Kesslers 3 years blocks per 36 per game numbers are 3.7, 3.7, and 3.5.
In goberts 12 years his career high in blocks per 36 per game is 3.4. (vast majority of seasons is under 3)

I mean, the major thing here is that Kessler has anchored back to back last place defensive teams and they haven't even been close to the 29th ranked team.

This is his best season and he's anchoring one of the worst defenses in NBA history.

The Jazz's defensive issues are much more about the sheer terribleness of George, Sexton, Hardy, Markkanen, and Collins on defense, but Kessler hasn't shown that he can be a game changing defensive center yet. The Jazz are even worse on defense with Kessler on the court (though this is because he usually plays with George, Sexton, and Markkanen)

I remember seeing many tweets of stats regarding Kessler defense showing that he is a game changing defensive center.

I also remember myself and @MT Steve tracking his effect during games in game threads over and over again so I'm gonna have to disagree with you.

Yes the teams defense sucks. It would have sucked the last 2 years (and this year so far) with gobert as well. Would have been a bit better but would still suck.

Tanking is tanky.

Our best defender at the 1-3 positions is, probably, Cody. The same guy who the Jazz just shipped to the G-League. Ainge somehow managed to assemble a cast of guards where every single one is absolutely atrocious on defense. That's not easy to do.
