I dont think its Goberts problem, well not one that he can fix. Teams are shooting from outside and he cant defend the perimeter. He cant help being 7'2"

I guess you missed that he's grabbing half of the available loose balls/area rebounds that he was last year. Or just watching him play flat-footed A LOT.

He’s part of the big issue. His defense at the rim hasn’t been nearly what it was last year. No logical explanation for it other than it’s hard and he doesn’t want to do it every night. Our defense is built on funneling everything to Rudy and having him deal with dudes. This year he’s been average... he has to be amazing for it to work. He can be amazing he just hasn’t.

Or maybe they could change the scheme and force baseline so that anyone besides Gobert is responsible for the quality of the defense. I kind of think this team of rough-and-tumble defensive players have gotten spoiled and their individual ability on defense has lost a significant edge.

Or that opponents are shooting like 10% better at the rim this year on him... he is absolutely part of the issue right now.

Someone has to remind him that the thing that made him so special is that no one outworked him and no one did a better job cleaning up bad shots and bad offense (but he didn't need offense run for him). There is absolutely no shame in how he played two years ago.

Yup... his block percentage has gone from 6.4% two years ago to 6 last year to 4.9 this year. Everyone is part of our struggles including Rudy.

2 years ago, Gobert's opp fg% within 5 feet was 54.6%. This year it's 61.5%.

Edit: All of his opp fg% are worse compared to past 2 years across all shooting ranges. Sometimes by a lot.
