Opponent field goal percentage at the rim (Rudy Gobert best in the league)

Kanter might be the worst but hes 2nd best post player in the league so its a net positive when he's on the floor. Favors defense is boosted by playing with Gobert. Watch Kanters numbers go way up playing with Ibaka. Plus now they've built a proper team around him he will be the best offensive big in the game.

4.38 points saved is extremely significant for a team whose average scoring margin on the season is -1.9.

The best part is the "points saved" stat doesn't even begin to effectively illustrate Gobert's impact, nor does it take into account how many shot attempts in the paint don't even occur at all simply because teams don't want to attack Rudy.

Rudy makes other teams change their offensive schemes. He's unreal.

Ibaka won't really hide Kanter's deficiency on the pick and roll, especially against teams that are proficient at it (not Charlotte and Denver.) Remember LMA going of for 16 in the first quarter against Kanter? You can isolate the matchup so you can go straight at him and he can't defer to Ibaka. I hope the Jazz do this with Favors over and over again when we play OKC.

I hope Booker, Favors, and Gobert all get a chance to dunk on him and block his shot. I wouldn't care if we lost by 30 if that happened. Worth it.

Oh yeah @ Zyzz

Please gif/vine Rudy's first monster block on Kanter. thanks in advance

Except LMA had only 6 or 8 out of those 16 when defended by Kanter. But don't let facts get in the way of good ol' Kanter bashing
 
Multiple times last night I saw the Spurs pass out of layup attempts for long twos from backup bigs. THAT is the effect that Gobert has. There was a point where the Spurs were ACTIVELY CHOOSING an Aaron Baynes long 2 over a Parker layup. Unreal.

Especially when he was playing with Favors. That front court pairing is any teams nightmare. After watching them handle the Blazers and Spurs I can't wait to see what they are going to do to the lakers.

True. I think the bigger concern is Kanter being so slow to switch. He has no ability to get out and defend guards. All Rudy has to do is get within a couple of feet and raise his arms. Must look like the damn Great Wall when he does that!
 
Technically, its better for an offense to attack us by shooting mid range shots that trying to score inside on Gobert.
It goes against everything coaches teach, practice, and know. Rudy is special.
