DeAndre Jordan - 12.5 PPG, 14 RPG, 1.8 BPG, 69% from the field. 30-17 team record.
Rudy Gobert - 12.8 PPG, 12.6 RPG, 2.5 BPG, 66.4% from the field. 29-18 team record.
It's basically a coin flip between those two stats wise. Jordan is more well known than Gobert and plays in LA. Nine seasons in the league against four for Rudy. Not all that surprising at all.
Now, I obviously believe Gobert is the better player without a doubt. I'm just not surprised. We should be ecstatic for Hayward though.
Gobert might win DPOY this year and has many more seasons to compete for an all-star spot in the future. We have him locked up for at least five more years too. I agree with Cy that Hayward definitely needed it more than Rudy.
Maybe Hayward realizes that he became an all-star playing in Utah and not anywhere else heading into free agency.
I'm happy as **** that we got one player in. I was worried both would miss out because of coaches and players splitting votes.
