The Jazz seem destined for greatness or near-greatness over the next decade. Nearly every great NBA team has had a strong, charismatic, hyper-competitive leader.

Do the Jazz have that person right now in Rudy or Hayward or ? or do you think that type of personality is yet to join our budding juggernaut?

Rudy Gobert.

AKA

The Stifle Tower

The French Rejection

Sacré Bleu!
 
Stifle tower
 
Rudy is the charismatic leader, no doubt. Look at who everyone responds to him when he is on the court. He has the fire. Hayward is a good leader adn all but doesnt have that fire that is so visible like Rudy does
 
Yep, I love Hayward, but Rudy is a natural leader. The way the team responded to him and rallied defensively gives me goose bumps whenever I think about it. Rudy makes everyone a believer.
 
I would put Favors above Rudy in terms of "Who leads the team" even.

They have seniority and I think even Rudy looks up to them as leaders.
 
To reinforce this idea Gobert just tweeted about Favors not being selected to the Team USA mini camp.

Gobert took exception.

So not only should you not ignore Gobert you better not ignore his team.

That just means Gobert tweets more than anyone else on the team.

I think it's Rudy on defense and Hayward on offense. Everyone rallies around those two.

And the defense was the driving force behind our success last year. Rudy was the key to all that, and it wasn't just his ability to play defense, but his take no prisoners attitude rubbing off on everyone else.

Possibly.

I think it shows he is more outspoken and more of a leader. It is the small things like this. After time they pile up and people start deferring to you. It is happening as we speak. Not a done thing but a happening thing.

Two more examples:

Gobert pushing Kanter into position on D on the court.

Burks messing with Gobert of all his teammates on twitter during SL this year.

Examples: Hayward having the ball in his hands in the 4th quarter.

Derrick Favors being the most involved in the community.


Rudy is just the most flashy player, I don't think he is the team's leader.
 
I think Hayward is seen as the leader. He calls the shots on the floor. Rudy is DEFINITELY not the leader after having only emerged half a season ago.

That is why I said it is happening and not happened. Gobert is slowly becoming the leader. Just watch this season...

It's OK Cy, you should be used to being wrong.

Pretty sure you are the wrong one.

The guy with the ball on his hands is usually going to be the leader. 95% of the time this is the case.

Defensive minded guys who can't score on their own aren't really considered leaders. They can be an emotional leader or a "rah rah" type, but they aren't the guy who the team is going to turn to when the score is tied with 24 seconds left in regulation. That guy is the leader.

Just watch the season, we will all find out together.

Man I am so stoked for this season. Even with Exum going down.
