NBA.com Article: Rookie of the Year Predictions- Rudy Gobert?

[mhindy]

I think Gobert has a fantastic chance to be a nice contributing third big. His offense looks a long ways away to me, sometimes it seems like his insanely long arms get in the way of what he's trying to do. If he ever develops much there at all he could be an incredible player, but even without that he should be a great lob-catcher and putback big.

He could easily average Favors' numbers from last year in the next couple which would be sweet.

Let him play next to a stretch4 when the subs come in. Only responsibility is to go after offensive rebounds and block or alter shots on the other end.

i make some research and there is no a lot players with such a long wingspan and reach that contribute well enough. hope he is one of them.
the McGee comparison is adequate. Just intriguing potential. Rudy seems to have good IQ. we will see.

the best thing is Ty have to play him and all our rookies and (second and third year) rookies because the roster settled for future and 2014 draft.
Now we will see who is who.

Olowakandi with a 7'8" wingspan, 35" vertical, 270 lbs. You couldn't ask for a better center specimen. Draft can be such a crap shoot.
