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

[The Midnight]

In the pre-draft footage I saw of him he was getting pushed around quite easily. By guys Millsap's size.

I've only had a chance to see one of the summer games, game #1, and I'm curious if this is not a big problem for him. I figured when we drafted him that this was going to be his main problem, not scoring, but just not being heavy/strong enough to hold his position.

So, how's he doing with that?

Seems to me he's more than holding his own against SL players... Also don't forget something KOC always like saying - if a player has wide shoulder, it's more than likely that player would bulk up and fill out the frame in time.

I don't think that would have deterred them at all in picking him.

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?

Gobert needs to work out with Karl Malone, Italian Stallion & Apollo Creed style.

LOOOLLL no way we can't score if they start lol this situation in offense is more stupid than dh12 omer asik combo

But they can't either. Game may be decided 4-3 on a pinch-hit double in the ninth inning.

I love this kid. He has surprised me with his effort and intensity. He does need to get stronger in the upper body because he has trouble securing rebounds and guys are driving into his chest to push him back so they can shoot. As he gets stronger he won't lose the rebounds and won't be so easily moved (fall back). However, I have already seen improvement in SL regarding these issues.

Another nice thing his he shows a nice touch at the foul line and made a nice turn around jumper. The tip in was ridiculous. I certainly can see him play some back up minutes. The crazy thing is he has been playing with an in grown nail on his foot so who knows how much that has bother him. The fact he is playing only makes me like the kid even more. I think the Jazz have found a gem at the bottom of the first round.
