Zach Lowe 'Wingspan and a Prayer' Rudy Gobert Article

I wonder if nba scouts looked into The Big Show to see if he had the ability to ball.

I disagree with a couple of premises in the article: 1) that Gobert's value to the Jazz may be as trade bait. HIGHLY unlikely unless Lebron or Durant come over in the deal. 2) that Utah doesn't have the outside shooting to allow Gobert to be utilized. Lowe says Utah could use a guy like Korver. Jazz have that in Hood. Granted, the Favors/Kanter combo is a concern as a starting combo. But Gobert will likely come off the bench with Hood at SF and Novak or Booker at PF, with Exum as the PG. Just need some range from whoever is at SG. Assuming Hayward starts at SF, he'll likely slide over to SG and play some with the subs before coming out. Felix has some range. Point is, I think we're going to be very pleased with the 2nd unit, led by Gobert.
