Jazz players at the World Cup

[stitches]

So, basically Rudy is the best player in the game on both teams. Once again better than Giannis.

Giannis actually played good. I don't know if all the numbers are correct. I see some mistakes right away - for example Gobert missed 1 FT which is not in the boxscore.

Can this Heurtel PG on France play? He's been doing well boxscore wise the past 2 games. Never heard of him before.

He's a ... game manager, nothing jumps at you when you watch him, but he's solid and doesn't make stupid mistakes.

Final statline for Gobert according to French TV Canal+Sport: 13Pts, 12Rbs, 3Bs... they chose him MVP for the game! Was 5/6 from FT which is impressive once again!

Looking at the boxscore, it's clear Giannis played pretty well. Gobert was simply better. Giannis shouldn't feel bad, Rudy was better than everybody.

Greece making a furious comeback. wow.

Rudy Gobert's final stat line:

13 pts, 10 rebs, 2 blks, 4-6 from field, 5-5 from the line in 20:49 mins.

One word: BEAST.

France wins 81-73.

How can you keep him off the floor?

Gobert was very efficient and calm on the court. I liked his scoring and free throws. However can't say much about his rebounding, without their rebounding bigs Greece is a pretty bad rebounding team.

Not a good good game to measure France either. Because Greece was with one of their weakest rosters of the recent years and don't have any decent point guards at all.

Seems like gobert has only had good games all summer.
He has been very consistently good

Gobert, Favors front court? Wow. Defense.

That boxscore is wrong. He missed a FT and during the French broadcast they showed that he ended with 12 rebounds.

And I heard someone say 3 blocks, not 2

Yea, he disrupted a lot of shots and I remember very clearly two blocks, but two seems low.

Yah, I think the French broadcast was closer to the truth. He missed 1 FT, also missed more than just 2 FG attempts. I counted at least 3 blocks, too. So his statline is indeed probably 13/12/3, with 5/6 FT and 4/8 FG.

Gobert, Favors front court? Wow. Defense.

That'd be scary, the problem is with the spacing in offense. Unfortunately I don't see this tandem working at all. Also, both of them are relatively limited offensively.

I agree with you. He finished the first half with 8 and 9 and a block.

So then that means he only got 4 more points, a rebound and a block in the second half. Doesn't seem right at all.

Only works if you have three REAL perimeter threats that are also very good and willing passers.. which isn't likely.

Whaa? Trey/Dante, Burks and Hayward aren't REAL parimeter threats?

Put it this way. A game of HORSE might take them an hour to complete.

 

[The Midnight]

Exum. Gobert. Hayward (potentially)


So many players to cheer for this month.

Looking at the boxscore, it's clear Giannis played pretty well. Gobert was simply better. Giannis shouldn't feel bad, Rudy was better than everybody.

Giannis gave Gobert (#16) some problems, was probably the reason the coach yelled at him.

look where his hand is. That's some freaky hops for 7'1-7'2 footer... If I'm estimating this correctly, that's about 33-35 vertical jump!!! Wow! That is also considerably higher than what he measured last year at the combine(29 inches). I made a quick research about other bigs(Over 7'1) measurement at combines. Only 1(Jordan Bachynski) has anything comparable - 33 inches.

Gobert, Favors front court? Wow. Defense.

Thing is just as many would think Gobert and Kanter...Goberts defense and Kanters offense and better spacing.

I like to think Favors,Kanter starting and Gobert coming in at the end of the 1st and 3rd quarters anchoring the 2nd unit and be a momentum changer.Gobert is playing good and impressing but why dump and get rid of another player(Kanter?) when you can have 3 good Interior players.Theirs 96 minutes where theoretically they could all have 32 minutes,not going to happen ,but theirs enough time for all to get significant playing time.Utah could shoot up to be a top rebounding team,control the boards win games.
