The **OFFICIAL** Rudy Gobert is awesome how did he fall to the 27th pick? Thread

The simple fact that he shows as strongly on the pick and roll and can protect the rim today means he has a future in this league. At 27, thats a win.
 
And so me were putting me down for saying that if Gobert can put on 20 to 30 lbs., he would be better than Mark Eaton. How many of you think he can be better than Mark was?

Sign me up.

The thing is that there is nothing wrong with him. compare him to Noel: Noel, 7 ft 206, Go-Bear, 7'2 238. He isn't that light, he just needs more strength. He's fast for a big, he's agile for a big, his effort is there, and he makes Jeremy Evans look like an average player when it comes to getting in the air. Mark never really developed an offensive game to speak of, Go-Bear; with his agility might be able to play both sides, and if you consider that his standing reach is comparable to Eatons, that makes him..............better.............

Will he start? Not sure about that, Kanter is pretty darn good, and Favors is a beast. I think it will depend somewhat on matchups, the funny thing being that we are choosing between a 6'10 player, a 6'11 player, and a 7'2 player for the starting center. You really can't go wrong height wise.
 
I don't like to label any player as "untouchable", but I gotta think the Jazz are intrigued by what Bear can do if given time. That said, the Jazz FO will probably keep him out of any deal talk for the season if the trajectory holds for him and his foot stops bothering him.
 
GoBear will assure that Tomic NEVER comes to play for us. The only way that he ever comes here is if we outpay his international team. That bill will be around five mil. GoBear is getting around one and a half mil. And all indications are that GB is as good if not better than Tomic, so why would we pay more? As long as Favors and Kanter are on the team, GB will be the third big, even when his deal is up and they re-sign him for between 5 and 7 depending on his performance and the market. By that time Tomic will be near or at his prime and going down. The best we could do is trade Tomic's rights for some draft picks or something, but who else is going to pay him the five mil?

Waiting for someone to make a Rudy Gobert summer league highlight video!

Please use TV on the Radio's "Staring at the Sun".

Will rep once a day for a week.

I highly doubt Gobert is going to be a 2-time DPOY and average over 4 bpg in his prime but he definitely has all the tools to become a very effective defensive presence and even as a young player could make an impact playing along the backline of a 2-3 zone in short stretches.

Roy Hibbert Summerleague stats 28:23 MPG 9.0 RPG 1.4 APG 1.2 SPG 3.2TO 1.8BPG 20.2PTS 63% FG
If my math is right Roy Hibbert was 22 when he posted these summer league stats

Rudy Gobert Summerleague stats 20.8 MPG 5.3 RPG 0.8 APG 0.30 SPG 2.30BPG 5.3PTS 58.3 %FG

I couldn't find Rudy Goberts TO average but they really low. He was 21 years old this summerleague.

If summerleague is any indication, Roy Hibbert is a better offensive player than Rudy Gobert at this same stage of his career. Rudy had more blocks but Roy Hibbert more steals. Both are probably a wash defensively (both equally really good). Roy Hibbert was better rebounder. Overall I would say Rudy Gobert did great this summerleague but I wouldn't expect a Roy Hibbert (who is an all star so it is a tough expectation).

Guys... is it too much of a stretch to say I think Gobert has a better upside than Steven Adams???

I will hold off the celebration until after a few Lost Vegas Summer League Games.

Speaking of which---if McCollum and/or Larkin has a terrific sumer league what will that do for Jazzfanz and Trey?
