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

[gandalfe]

Imagine Gobert with Memo's three-point shot. GOAT.

Or any kind of shot from outside of 5 feet, really.

Rudy is #1 right? Like maybe we need one more year to push him over Eaton, because Eaton was pretty damn badass, but Gobert is right there. Isn't he?

I thought he jumped too high for #0 or #-1 after SacTown game.


I post, therefore I am.

The only thing keeping Eaton at the top right now is the fact that he's been part of several Jazz teams that went deep into the playoffs, where as Rudy hasn't even played a single playoff game yet. But that will all change soon...

I miss this thread. Where's [MENTION=441]framer[/MENTION] when you need him?

Memo may have played center, but he was more of a PF, and no way is he even close to Rudy as a center.

Memo on this team would be pretty awesome. He would not be great defensively though

True, but if he played the four he could spread it like joe only he's bigger,and Rudy can cover for his defense lacks...he would have a better chance sefensivelu against "true" power forwards than joe.

I guess I was young when we aquired Spencer in a trade for Big Brown Bear Mike Brown, but I remember being excited about getting a center "who could play a little offense!" Mark Eaton had just retired and didn't have near the popularity he enjoys today. Formally a #6 draft choice of the Pesky Timberwolves, he wasn't really living up to the expecations that got him drafted that high. Although he could never bring the defensive production of a Mark Eaton, he scored just under 10 points a game for three seasons for the Jazz as they transitioned from upstarts to Western Conference playoff mainstays. Unfortunately, Spencer's run was ended by a nasty achillies injury that forced the contending Jazz to go a different direction while Spencer rehabbed. Spencer landed in Orlando and the Jazz landed in the finals two years later. Spencer played 3 seasons for the Utah Jazz.
