I Like Locke's Thinking

From Locke: "Rudy Gobert got some run tonight. His length was a factor and his offensive game is limited to dunks. The coaches may need to find a way to get him in the rotation for the second half of the season, though it’s going to cost us games. He needs to learn, but his overall impact right now goes both ways." Gobert will help the Tank.
 
He's ready to be apart of the rotation. Especially in a year like this where we have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. I get that he's really raw, but he makes plays. With more minutes I know we see bigger lapses of good play, but still why not see how he responds. He earned the right to fail or take off.
 
I have wanted Gobert to get time since we game 1. This is the perfect year to get him some burn. Focus on the guys that are going ot be here next year over people like Jefferson or Williams.

Favors/Gobert
Kanter/Evans
Hayward/Harris
Burks/Clark
Burke/Lucas/Garrett

That is what it should have been all season long with a 28-34/16-20 mpg split (roughly).

but if we don't play the vets with the core 5 they won't develop! :cool:
 
Before the season started one thing I talked to Locke about was who our 3rd big should be. I insisted on Gobert, but Locke was all like, "If you watched him play more, you wouldn't say that." And I responded with, "Yes, I would. This season is about two things: developing the youngs, and getting a good draft pick. Playing time for Gobert will obviously help him develop, and if he's currently as bad as you say, then it helps us get a better draft pick. All the better." He kinda conceded defeat and just nodded along as I spoke.
 
I'm in no hurry to force playing time onto Gobert. He's learning a lot from the bench and needs to work on that shot in practice before trying it out in games. Corbin can't play two fives together when his shot is as bad as it is. Doing so would hurt the development of Favors and Trey.

How do you figure? Are you going to play Favors and Gobert together? I wouldn't, not yet anyways. Also please explain how Gobert missing his shots/dunks hurts Trey.

Still how does that affect Favors when Gobert subs in and out for him? Trey maybe but still not all that hurtful.
