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

[sahlensguy]

But the goat does go to Gobert, easily.

He did net us Walker Kessler, after all.

Rudy's Win Shares skew heavily towards the regular season. Just saying...

And Kessler’s skew toward regular season exclusively.

From a stats and accolades perspective pretty sure it goes like this:

1. Gobert
2. Eaton
3. Okur
4. Tag?

And then other people because we have always been pretty thin at center. An argument could be made that Eaton is still above Gobert, but the DPOYs tip the scales, imo.

Now, where Kessler ends up, that will be fun to see.

Tag sucked Borchardt was better or Pete Chilcutt or even Keefe

If we took all those guys rookie years Kessler is the best by far and it isn’t close. The guy can play both sides of the court and something I always wished Gobert could do

He has already surpassed Gobert offensively

That's a bit of hyperbole, Rudy has averaged 12.5 pts/game vs 7.9. However, Rudy's rookie year was only 2.3. Even if you count year 2, the 1st year he was really utilized, he was only slightly above Walker, 8.4.

Mark Eaton, however, averaged 6 pts per game.

Also probably need to look ar per 36 for this comparison.

Just, no. Borchardt had potential, but glass feet. Chilcutt was useless, and Keefe was barely functional.

Jerry Sloan thought tag sucked too if only Rony came we could have won. Antoine Carr was more productive in the finals against the bulls. Greg Foster was even called upon over Oster dirty rag

Rudy Gobert is the most overrated Jazz player of all time.

Rudy was a good player that looked legendary due to a system that was never going to work when it actually matters. When everything is built around you, any good player is going to shine.

I found funny how many people jump already into conclusion thay Kessler is better than Rudy. ....after few months.... time will tell. Kessler is promising but may have the same limit Rudy get ( no shooting).

He's a top 10 player that instantly transforms Minnesota into a top 2 seed and championship contender. - Jazz Fanz all summer
