Even if he hasn’t made everyone agree in recent years, Rudy Gobert remains an asset to the Wolves, where he hopes win the title. We’re talking about a three-time DPOY winner, which means being compared to him on defense is a good thing. Especially for this young player.
Back at the Wolves, still with the ambition of winning the ring, Rudy Gobert hopes to have a better season alongside Karl-Anthony Towns. The last one was not easy with his huge trade from Jazz, KAT’s injury and a level of play that was sometimes criticized. The Frenchman was able to digest all of this this summer, with the firm intention of rectifying the situation in Minnesota.
If offense will not be his priority, Rudy could try his luck more often, especially on the three-point shot. Everything will depend on the involvement of KAT and Anthony Edwards, not to mention the fact that Naz Reid takes space off the bench. Nevertheless, Gobert continues to get everyone in agreement on defense, where he remains the Wolves’ best way to lock down this racket.
Rudy Gobert compared to a young player
Even if Draymond Green must be grinding his teeth somewhere, we are talking about a triple DPOY, having had a pretty crazy influence at Jazz in the past. Being like him in this area is therefore a good thing, like Evan Mobley for example. It was his teammate Georges Niang who raised the subject in front of journalists, believing that he was on the right track.

#Cavs Georges Niang on whether he sees similarities between Evan Mobley and Rudy Gobert:
“I would say Evan’s ability to protect the rim is, I don’t want to make a quote and have it go viral, but it’s along the lines of how Rudy Gobert protects the rim.”

George Niang on whether he sees similarities between Evan Mobley and Rudy Gobert.
“I would say Evan’s ability to protect the rim is, I don’t want my statement to go viral, but it’s in line with Rudy Gobert and his way of protecting the rim. »
Suffice it to say that it’s a nice compliment for Mobley, a very respected youngster on the Cavaliers side. An interior looking to become more offensive, but could be very useful on defense alongside Jarrett Allen. We imagine that Rudy will appreciate the statement in any case.
Being compared to Rudy Gobert when we talk about defense is obviously a good thing. It’s unclear if Evan Mobley is truly on the same trajectory, but it’s fantastic news for the Cavs if that’s the case. Gobzilla has competition.
