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

Thee Idiotic Minivan K said:
Shaq is butt *** hurt over Gobert getting 200 million. He basically tweeted that he didn’t want to hate on Gobert but that Gobert getting 200 million for averaging 11 points is an inspiration to kids everywhere. Shaq is a ****ing bitch.

Its great. Between that and KD's comments over the summer I expect Rudy to have 10 blocks tomorrow. His response was also great. Shaq is the old man yelling at clouds.

Remind me, what did KD say?

Basically didn't call him out by name but said some DPOYs are over-rated and they ain't hard to score on and get played off the court in the playoffs. It was a clear shot at Rudy but I forget all the specifics.
 
#14 Otto Moore

Points 1486
Rebounds 1757
Blocks 292
Steals 160
Assists 479

Stop me if you have heard this before, but Moore was a solid player the Jazz grabbed at the downward slide of his career. Drafted in 1968 by the Detroit Pistons, Moore averaged 8.2 points and 8.2 rebounds in his NBA career, perfectly balanced, as all things should be. Acquired by the New Orleans Jazz in 1974, Moore averaged 7.4 and 8.7 playing three seasons for the Jazz. It may not seem like a lot, but Otto was at least a legit NBA player to match with team star Pistol Pete on a team lacking actual competitive options. By 1977, two years away from the Jazz being moved to Utah, Moore was starting for Virtus Banco di Roma and out of the NBA, perhaps starting the fine tradition of Centers ending their careers in Utah. his 3.1 assist rate for a center back in the Seventies wasn't too shabby though. . .

I will try to revive this thread, unless the OP decides to come out of hiding and pick it back up. I just really want to see where he sits now after no updates here for 9 months. @framer where you at?

So I thought I would add this:

1635002981197.png

Current season status through 2 games. Small sample size? You bet! Fan-damn-tastic stats! **** yeah!

Here are his career stats so far:

Points 6598
Rebounds 6192
Blocks 1221
Steals 369
Assists 737

Damn moving up fast! I think we can damn near put this thing to bed. Rudy is absolutely the best center we have ever had, no comparison really. I am not sure where that ranks but assuming that the one he is chasing is Eaton, here are Eaton's stats in the same categories:

Points 5216
Rebounds 6939
Blocks 3064
Steals 368
Assists 840

Pretty darn close. Wow I had no idea. And Eaton did this in 11 years. Rudy is in the beginning of his 9th year. Aside from blocks Rudy will surpass Eaton in every other category this year. He will likely never catch him for blocks because people have learned to not challenge Rudy so the opportunities are not there.

All in all the only one he is realistically chasing now is Eaton, and that is only to see if he can even get close to the blocks mark, as he will be ahead in every other category this current season.

So is the jury still out? I don't think so. It is pretty clear Rudy is the best center we have ever had. Taking nothing away from Eaton, who is well-beloved and that is well-earned.


Edit: I guess to be fair need to add in Memo:

Points 8561
Rebounds 4436
Blocks 453
Steals 329
Assists 1089

Hmmm, so from the points standpoint, it looks like Memo has the edge. 10 seasons for Memo here.

Thoughts?

Nothing to worry about there my friend.

In order of season played, here are his FG% stats, leaving out his first season of 48% because it was irrelevant really:

.604
.559
.661
.622
.669
.693
.675
.625 (current season, 2 games)

Nope, looks great. He lead the league at both .669 and .675

The .625 is really concerning...
