Rudy Gobert had a superb start to the season. While the Utah Jazz has the best record in the NBA (7 wins – 1 loss), the interior continues the big performances. In 8 matches, the Frenchman has managed, on 7 occasions, to turn into a double-double.
Impressive rebounds, the pivot captures 17.3 on average over this 2021-2022 fiscal year. Crazy numbers, and above all an impressive consistency. Because at the start of the season, Gobert has always recovered at least 13 rebounds in a meeting.
To start an exercise and over a period of 8 matches, it is simply a question ofa new series in the League since Shaquille O’Neal in 1992-1993! This is to say the dazzling form of the native of Saint-Quentin.
Will he be able to keep up this exceptional pace? Currently, the Habs do not seem to be over-revving. As a defensive leader, he shows the way for his team. And he remains effective, without overdoing it, offensively.
In any case, such a series can give him ambitions. If the Jazz continues to hit everything, and if Rudy Gobert retains such an impact, his name could start to circulate for the title of MVP. But there’s still a long way to go, and the Salt Lake City franchise is just rubbing their hands of their form.
