37. Rudy Gobert
Earned a top-40 spot after unleashing these promising January splits: 27.6 mpg, 9.4 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 3.1 bpg and 4.8 super-fun screen-and-rolls per game (unofficial). Sorti de nulle part!2 In six whirlwind months, Gobert went from “Tall French Dude On Utah’s Bench” to “Guy Making a Legit FIBA World Cup Splash,” “Guy Who Got His Own Movie Clip That Confused Jalen In Our Bill & Jalen NBA Preview,” “Mega-Fantasy Sleeper,” “Stealth Daily Fantasy Asset On FanDuel And DraftKings,” “SportVU Rim Protection God,” “Legitimate NBA Starter,” “Future Block Leader,” “Top-40 Trade Value Guy” and finally, “Winner Of The Best NBA Nickname Of The Decade.” Ladies and gentlemen, please, give a round of applause to the Stifle Tower, Mr. Rudy Gobert!

Funny.
But I think his maximum value was at this past trade deadline. Chances are he never develops a decent offensive game and his value goes down. We should have traded him for 3 firsts and kept Kanter. Offense > Defense.













SARCASM ALERT! SARCASM ALERT!

Don't scare me like that... didn't see the alert and was about to go ballistic.

Without the sarcasm alert, I'll bet I could have gotten a few to agree with me. We apparently got robbed in the Kanter trade but Gobert would have brought in offers from all 29 other teams.

Gobert would have gotten offers from NFL teams. If LeBron thinks he can play TE, could you imagine Gobert at WR? Who's going to stop that on a fade route?

OH i would love to see this guy on an NFL roster, but that won't happen. I think Lebron would be really close to Gronk and Graham at TE.
 
Lebron would be a beast in the NFL. I don't think there is any doubt. His talent would translate. Especially in his younger years. He's been so durable too. I think he could have withstood the pounding.


As far as Gobert, I kinda like the idea of him blocking field goals, but that's it. He'd get wrecked trying to play in the NFL.

No doubt. He picked the right sport for his body. I also think he made a good choice not to become a jockey... or a pro cyclist.
