Neto is STILL n Town... And Hiking W/ Gobert Today

[Coach Ellis]

The luckiest guy on the planet!!! I have no idea.

Sorry, but he'd have to be sandwiched by a Brazilian Babe and a French Maid to even come close to that designation.

Let's just call him "Random Lucky Dude who hangs out with pro basketball players."

Gobert looks bigger. That is a good sign. Hopefully kid is hitting weights hard.

Unfortunately, we can't really see where he should be putting on the weight (the lower body). If he can guard the post, this guy is a starter (at least eventually). IMO.

You can have team chemistry without hanging out with each other. I don't think Stockton and Malone hung out a lot.

another example: last year i thought burks and kanter developed some nice chemistry.
they looked good on pick n roll/pop with burks finding kanter often and then there was thier go to play with kanter having the ball on the right low baseline and handing off to burks cutting baseline...... that play almost always resulted in a bucket or free throws. probably my favorite thing corbin implemented

Gobert @ #27?? Lol... still say he's gonna be the steal of that draft.

I still can't believe that. I missed the draft after the lottery but recorded it and was going to watch it, unspoilered, but Baby Peterzz wanted to go to a bar and talk about how exciting the draft was. It was there that I found out that the Jazz got Gobert and I couldn't ****ing believe it, it made no sense. When he told me how it went down, it was clearer, but I still don't know how he was there at #27 to begin with.

Anyway, cool story, bro, right?

Ya, it's bonkers that Gobert fell to #27 in a horrible draft.

Not sure Rudy is as big as some of you seem to think but he looks amazing either way. I love everything about him and hope Neto stays and is our backup point this year. I don't think it's dumb luck that eight of the players on the Spurs are foreigners and that they've been so successful because of it, at least to some degree. We don't need American egos. We need selfless guys who are gonna bust their butts and play team basketball. I have a feeling Neto and Gobert are two such guys.

A couple of us voted Gobert as the best value pick. I knew it wasn't going to happen overnight, but the way Lindsey kept talking about him, you'd think Dennis was a kid in a candy store.

I thought the Jazz had lost him when they traded up to get Burke. Just goes to show what Lindsey said...a lot of teams were sleeping on Gobert. Picking him up is San Antonio-esque!

This very much. ^^^^
Also the reason that I want them to just bite the bullet and get Tomic over here as well. He's older, but he might finally be able to contribute. If not, then you pay him the MLE for three years and move on or trade him. Reward greatly outweighs the cost and the risk at this point.
