Any chance Rudy Gobert starts?

Rudy Gobert is tearing up the summer league. Rush can get a little more rehab on his knee and I like Burks as our 6th man.

Favors is athletic enough to guard opposing small forwards and we would have a huge line-up.

PG Burke
SG Hayward
SF Favors
PF Kanter
C Gobert

Play our way all the way into the top-5.
 
I don't think Favors can guard SF without fouling. Heck I think Gobert would have a better chance guard most SF. Unfortunately, most SF would just blow pass them.

Gobert has been the best surprise of the SL. He certainly will play this year.
 
Start this year? No, no, and no. That said, he looks like he has tremendous potential. That spin and reverse layup, for a guy that big? Amazing. Some of our other bigs we drafted, Koufus and Arujo, can only do that in their dreams. He won't start, but he better get minutes (are you listening Ty?).
 
Lol @ this guy thinking Favors can play the 3....Favors could barely guard stretch 4's last year. He is best inside the paint as a center. Way to slow to be guarding players like LeBron, KD, etc
 
Why don't you start Hayward at the one and Jeremy Evans at the two because he's long enough to recover and block 3 pointers with his elbow?

That way there's more pressure on offenses and you could hide Favors @ 3 better.
 
Favors at the 3? He's closer to 6'11 than 6'10, at least he looks that way, and besides, we already have so many other good SF's. I'd rather give Evans a try, especially after watching the summer league.
 
Are these OPs serious?

Another guy suggests Jeremy Evans at SF.

Jeremy fkn Evans!

Now OP reraises all in with Favors at SF.

WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE FORUMS?

That line up right there almost guarantees us a top 3 pick. What's not to love? If something is worth doing, it is worth doing right, including tanking. The teams we are playing better not miss because all your rebounds are belong to us!

Actually, I heard the Jazz are just putting a cardboard cutout at SF, with a sign saying: "This position reserved for Andrew Wiggins."

From the "professional tank", to the "we don't give a **** who knows we are tanking" tank
