Oui Oui Gobert!

Sometimes I really think that Locke understands very little about the actual game of basketball, and just gets numbers.

Really excited to call every Gobert highlight reel "The Gobert Report"

Cue the Burke comparisons to Stockton in 3, 2, 1...

All we need to do is make him work with Malone on strength and conditioning, with Stockton on passing, with Hornacek on shooting and we have a future hall of famer.

Saying that I like the pick a lot.

Wait, did we trade him to Phoenix already?

Welcome back. We did indeed lose Horny to Phoenix.

Can't he do it as a hobby? Like Malone.

I would have preferred Goodwin, but Gobert is a good value at #27. Scoring over him or around him is going to be difficult. His standing reach is just 3 inches shy of the rim.

For #46 and cash, I believe this trade is a ****ing absolute steal.

Isn't his standing reach 9'7?

I'm just givin ya **** man, I make that mistake all the time. Still, 5 inches shy of the rim is pretty freaking great.

I sincerely wish Locke didn't like him or say dumb **** like this.

Wasn't he quoting a scout?

seems like a conflict of interest lol.

a lineup of him and Favors could be a damn good defensive team. A nice change from Al and Millsap.

damn he could probably get a block a game, with out jumping.

I know lots of people here don't care for Locke. I have had some criticisms as well. But it sounds like Locke was given a great deal of insight into the Jazz draft process and preferences. And to his credit he kept it mostly hidden. I think that he is a little over eager sometimes, but I also think the Jazz used that to their advantage and used him to spread some of their misdirection.

To those who say he is a tool I say: He may be a tool, but at least he is a useful tool.
