What kind of player can Gobert be?

Still don't get why people think a smart McGee is an insult. Gobert is pretty much a smart McGee who is way more determined to be a true center.

Anyone comparing him to Noah should be put down Old Yeller style, same with Chandler comparison.

He is young though, so that means he has to get exponentially better until he reaches All-Star level. #JazzfanzLogic

To be fair, he did get exponentially better this year from his rookie year (though I realize I said that sarcastically). I don't think anyone saw him making this big of a leap. I standby my statements of not making ridiculous comparisons too early.

He hardly played his rookie year and he never looked this good. Sure, there was him just being super tall, but a lot of guys have come through the league with that. He really did make a big leap in his overall game that I'm pretty sure no one saw coming (especially since these post were made before the FIBA games).

Rudy also came into the NBA at the best possible time. Roy Hibbert really paved the way for super tall players to be effective. I see him as the guy who really got the NBA to buy into the "rule of verticallity" that allows super tall dudes to just go up straight and not get called for ticky tack fouls.

It's cuz it's NAOS, bro.

Has anyone here ever read a NAOS post, and laughed at his attempt at humour?

Some of us saw more than just him being super tall.
I know for me I saw his mobility, awareness/smarts, aggressiveness/nastiness, passion, work ethic, and athleticism.
But I had the advantage of seeing him up close at scrimmages.
And like you said, at the time to talk of him being as good as some of the best centers was premature and unlikely to come true. Like most predictions are


I don't really have a problem when you said things like rudy will never average 25 minutes per game.
At the time no one truly knew **** about him.... it was all speculation and projection of potential
 
Guys give NAOS some time to respond, he's busy snackin on #thesoftserve #DQUEEN'D

Guise maybe if I can push his buttons the right way, we can all get in-depth character-analyses from Jazzfanz-shrink Dr. NAOS. It's worked once so far.
