Oui Oui Gobert!

I love this pickup. Reminds me of a young Hibbert. Am actually very surprised he dropped to 27 considering the impact Hibbert had in the playoffs.
 
Lindsey said in the interview that Hibbert is a reason we took Gobert. He said that refs are trending towards calling fouls in the paint better, so big men who stand straight up in the air aren't getting as many fouls as they did in the past. This makes players like Gobert, who are freakishly long, really good players to have if they are smart. If his reported work ethic is true, he should at least be a legit backup big man, like our version of Asik.

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.

Haha that's probably why he was so high on Wolters, Olynk, and MCW.

Doesn't explain why he was high on Gobert. That's like a double smoke screen.

I really enjoy Locke.
 
Guys, I have a question nobody else thought of. Will he be coming over this coming season?
