What does Gobert need to do to get some run this year?

Learn to play pg and develop his three point shot.

Earn his minutes. It was not about Ty last year, it was about Rudy. It still it.

I think he gets playing time this season without a doubt. This years summer league Gobert would have dominated lasts years summer league Gobert.

What does he need to do? Now that Corbin is gone, show up to the games.

He was a rookie last year. Rookies should just be fetching dinner and carrying bags. They haven't paid their dues and been on team after team; those are the guys who DESERVE to play - just like Ty in his days as a player.

He will play this year. He is improving a lot.

It would be nice if one of the wings would throw a lob to the guy.

[x] rebounding
[x] shot-blocking
[x] man-defense (good but needs to bulk up)
[ ] team-defense (this takes time obv)
[ ] limit PFs (aggression is great but gotta stay on court)
[ ] improve FT% (49% is too low)
[ ] get a go-to move (some variation of hook-shot)

I thought Gobert looked very solid last year in summer league. And this year is no different. In fact, in the games I've watched he's been a game changer when he's on the floor. The moment he steps off you start counting the minutes until he returns.

But, he barely got off the bench last season.

I'm wondering if he'll be buried there again. I doubt he can space the floor enough to play with Favors, so I would imagine that those two won't share a lot of court time limiting Goberts minutes yet again. Although I could enjoy watching a Favors/Gobert tandem on the other end of the floor.

So, what does he need to do to get that game changing presence onto the floor for 30+ minutes a night during the regular season?

Well, we do have a new head coach, so perhaps that might factor into his playing time.

how many TECHS is Gobert going to get just because he is so competitive.

Learn to use his length while defending a la Omer Asik, Hibbert

Improve his upper body for battling under the rim

Decrease his stupid fouls

At least gotta become % 60 FT shooter

PnR offense will be his strenght so he's gotta improve his hands to get passes in traffic
