Rudy Gobert "Greatest Jazz Center of All Time" Countdown Thread

The Fresh Prince said:
Imagine Gobert in Memos spot back in 2007-2010. I think we'd of won a ship with that squad because Rudy would be there for Boozers matador defense.

I think what you meant to say was imagine Gobert in Memo's spot and Memo in Boozer's spot.
 
So here are Gobert's current Stats:

Points 1643
Rebounds 1889
Blocks 434
Steals 130
Assists 230

This ranks him at #15 ahead of:

#16 Greg Foster

Points 1113
Rebounds 721
Blocks 78
Steals 36
Assists 132

Greg Foster was the primary backup center on what was perhaps the best bench the Utah Jazz ever had. Calling themselves "The Bench Mob" with the likes of Shandon ANderson, Antoine Carr, Adam Keefe, and Howard Eisley, Utah's bench rolled to two finals appearances in 1997 and 1998. Foster is probably best known, however, for deploying the "throat slash" gesture to the Lakers in a game toward the end of the regular season in 1998, amping things up for an eventual playoff matchup between the Lakers and the Jazz. I will always love Foster for disrespecting the Lakers.

Unfortunately, Foster will also be forever known as a piece, along with Chris Morris, in the failed Ronnie Seikley trade in 1998. Ironically he won a ring with his one season the Lakers in 2001.

Foster is currently an assistant coach with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Here is Foster lighting up Shaq in the aforementioned 1998 Playoff series.

^^ but Gobert has much more stats than Greg Foster. Surely there isn't that big a gap between 15 and 14?
 
He was #1 the day he was drafted. Only Rudy knew it at the time, but the world will know when he's done. Rep coming to Framer for putting this together and updating it.
 
Actually there was a tremendous gap between 15ish and 14ish, Rudy is past a few more but not by much. I will update as we go by.
 
I've got Rudy on my fantasy team, and I just looked at his 'last 15 days' stats. 72%FG, 72%FT, ~14 rebounds, ~15 pts, 3.4 blocks per game. Not too shabby a streak. Last week is even crazier, with 79%FG, 73%FT, ~15 rebounds, ~18 pts and 4 blocks.
